Norikura Plateau Vacation Rentals

"Lovely hotel, spacious rooms. Did not have breakfast. Great spa facilities, managed very well and clean. "

"The property is run down and food is not good. "

"I’m not fan of unit bath but they had great hot spring upstairs and I enjoyed it very much. All staff were very friendly and kind."

"Amazingly located, striking architecture, friendly and accommodating staff. The quality of the amenities and the quality of service & small touches is very good. Website does not work properly and is outdated as mentioned a free early morning walking tour but staff did not know anything about this so assume it does not run any longer. The free bar is such a nice touch, though I wonder if the hotel should actually charge or somehow limit number of drinks per guest. Would definitely stay again! "

"Wonderful immersive experience, fantastic breakfasts and great central location. Incredible staff!"

" Wonderful staff!!! Great location…right near the Old Town. And the food was delicious!"

"Room was nice and warm during a cold night breakfast was really good with nice options"

"We had a fantastic stay at Wat Hotel & Spa Hida Takayama and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Takayama. The location is super convenient—just a short walk from the station and within easy reach of the old town, which made exploring really easy. The rooms were surprisingly spacious (especially compared to typical Japanese hotels), very clean, and incredibly comfortable. One of the highlights was definitely the onsen and spa facilities. They were beautifully maintained, relaxing, and such a nice way to unwind after a day of sightseeing. I also loved the option of private baths—it made the experience feel even more special. A really standout moment for us was arriving to find a thoughtful honeymoon setup in our room, including a handwritten-style card, flowers, and balloons. It was such a lovely surprise and made us feel genuinely welcomed and celebrated—such a special touch that we didn’t expect. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay, and everything felt very well organised. The breakfast had a good mix of Japanese and Western options and was a great way to start the day. Overall, this hotel offers amazing value for money with great facilities, comfort, and location. We’d absolutely stay here again!"

"A comfortable and peaceful place with private onsen"
