Best Takayama Ryokan

There are several good ryokan (traditional Japanese inns) in Takayama and this is a good place to try the ryokan experience. Here are my favorite ryokan in Takyama.

[Oyado Koto No Yume]

Being an old tourist city, Takayama has some good ryokan in the area around Takayama Station and Central Takayama. This is a good place to try sleeping the Japanese way, especially if you want a break from Western-style hotels. Note that there are several ryokan-style hotels in Takayama as well — see the Best Takayama Hotels page for details.

Takayama Station Area

Ryokan Oyado Koto No Yume

This lovely ryokan is a great place to stay in Takayama. It looks a bit like a hotel from the outside, but the rooms are real ryokan style. The food is very good here and the baths are very nice — and you can reserve them to enjoy by yourself. Recommended.

Central Takayama

Ryokan Tanabe

For a proper traditional ryokan experience, the Ryokan Tanabe is a great bet. It’s located right in the middle of town, convenient to the station and the sightseeing districts, and the rooms are pure ryokan style. And, unlike some other ryokan in town, here you can enjoy that most Japanese of pleasures: dining in your room. Highly recommended!
