"We would highly, highly recommend Ichirino Kogen Hotel Roan.
Dinner was phenomenal - some of the best food we had on our one month trip travelling around Japan. The variety of dishes, the freshness of the food, the beautiful presentation, and the harmony of the flavor combinations stood out to us. It was really delicious. The restaurant itself was comfortable and lovely. It was a little cold at first, but the grill warmed the room while the sake warmed us from the inside :)

"Fantastic place to stay in Takayama. Great location and the hotel staff go out of their way to make you feel welcomed. The hotel is in great shape as well and the onsen on the top floor with an outside option was nice."

"This hotel was next level. From the amazing, friendly staff to the Hilton level amenities and standards.
We were greeted in fluent English by super friendly staff to what seemed like a very empty resort. We believe it only seemed empty due to renovations to the second tower. We booked a private onsen for your family at the front desk and went to our beautiful room. The buffet dinner was fantastic and to follow the breakfast buffet was equally amazing.

"Good location, excellent value breakfast. Whilst parking is first come first served there was lots reserved. As with most modern hotels the lifts are a bottleneck and no clearly signposted stairs as an alternative."

The whole stay was flawless and staff are really very consciously looking after your needs.
The in room bath pool overlooking a small garden was cool. The dining experience was most excellent.
Lastly we left a jacket in the wardrobe and realized that at the train station with minutes to board!; as my daughter was on the phone to hotel; the driver had retrieved the jacket and showed up at the station to return the jacket.
This will never happen anywhere else - really appreciated the service...

The staff at this Ryokan are excellent in terms of their service, friendliness and professionalism. The excellent service began right after we booked, then continued in-person when we were picked up at Takayama Station on arrival and sadly ended when we were dropped off at the car rental when leaving Takayama.
In between, the hospitality has been top notch and the dinner and breakfast were of very high quality. Our room also had the motorised bed and the corner view overlooking the river was a...

We had a family of 6 staying in 2 separate rooms for this trip. The Hotel was easy to find and met all our requirements. We made some requests to have 2 rooms close together and they were very helpful with that. They were also very helpful in helping us make airport transfer arrangements. Overall, the service is what stands out, even amongst the lofty service standards in Japan. Would stay here again if I'm ever in Kanazawa.

Loved this hotel! The rooms were clean and the layout of the room was great. The space was also spacious enough to layout 2 big luggages on the floor. They even had a public onsen that we could use upstairs which was really nice to use after a long day out. The hotel is also situated right next to Omicho market, and was in walkable distance between the Kanazawa castle and Higasjichaya district.

The hotel though is small but it is very clean and convenient, only a minute walk to the misj street which has access to the buses. It is located in a small street but there are a row of boutiques and cafes so it is really pleasant to walk around.
The room though is not big but it is a good size for Japan standard. The toilet is also has a good size. However, the rooms that we got have no TV. If you are the type that must watch TV e eryday, make sure that you let the hotel know.

What excelled for me was the service of the reception. Most of them are fluent in English, extremely helpful and helped us to forward the luggage’s to Nagano. The interior of the hotel was done well, comfy beds and nice arrangement. The improvements I wish to see and hope they consider is to remove the plastic carpeting and replace with tiles for better clean ability in the bathroom area because those absorb stains and it’s disgusting to see it. And add luggage racks.
