Residence Hotel Takayama Station

Residence Hotel Takayama Station

10/10 Excellent
"Room was large and clean. They delivered fresh towels and drinking water daily. Quiet and right next to the station. There is a bike rental next door where we rented e-bikes and road all over Takayama. Great fun! Really good Katsu restaurant west under the tracks and then a few blocks straight to Starbucks. Turn right one block to Donkatsu. Well priced and good quality. Would stay here again in a heartbeat."
