Good value. A tad cold in hallways but heated rooms. Smell of gas due to old fashion heating.

Fantastic hostel. We booked a private room. The whole hostel is well maintained and spotlessly clean. We contacted staff when we were running late and they kindly accomodated our late checkin. Bathrooms are spotless. Room spotless. Very clean. Would stay here again!

The staff was absolutely wonderful and took the time to show us around everything. They even provided us with a list of transport options and restaurants nearby. They offer a free shuttle service in the morning to the train station, too. The building itself was in great condition too, and the rooms were really nice. The only issue we had was the beds were very, very firm, so it was difficult to sleep on. That being said, if you’re okay with harder mattresses, this is the perfect place for you!

You truly can't get any better than here
Great place in every way. Not a single issue, and everything is labeled in several languages which made using the bidet a bit easier. The biggest thing is how incredible the manager (I think) is: besides being friendly and helpful, when he saw the bags we were gonna carry all the way to the bus station, he just went and drove us there himself. By far the best experience staying anywhere, and if I'm ever back in Japan, I know where I'll be staying.
Thank you for serving us during our stay, and I look forward to coming back again some day.

Wonderful hospitality
The staff is very warm and kind. They provide shuttle to the train station 3 times in the morning which is a huge bonus. It is possible to walk into town but it is a little far.

Superb hostel
Great hostel to stay at. Close to an old Japanese village and within walking distance to the center of Takayama. Everything you need for your stay is here including a free morning shuttle ride to the train station.

Sakura Guest House is run by a family and they are really sweet. They let you check in early as well, compared to other hostels who just allow you to drop your bag. The rules are very relaxed and shoes are allowed inside (which for me was not a big plus as it compromised with the cleanliness). The bed is comfortable, the room is warm. The location is quite nice, in a residential neighbourhood. It is very close to Hida folk village.
