카츠라기 노 사토

First thing to say: Takayama was our favorite place in Japan. It’s a cute, artistic little village nestled in the mountains. The views are awesome! I highly recommend visiting the city and staying at this hotel. This is an amazing property. It’s very rustic and gorgeous. It is a schlep from the train station (approximately 60 minutes) and you must get there by bus on very twisty, winding roads. Our only regret was that we had one night here. If we visit Takayama again, we will stay here and spend three nights. We would get into the city early in the am and spend the day and night in town (by the train station) before boarding the am bus to come to this place. The owner is lovely (so is her mother) and was super sweet and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious! The onsen was clean and amazing! We just loved it! We had a huge space that was comfortable and clean. This hotel is old so expect that - rustic and old yet really sweet. I LOVED it! If you’re able to spend a few nights here, do it.
