"It’s like having an apartment for yourself, that’s why it’s called residence i think. Big room , have all the amenities as described, even a washing machine inside! I thought it will be in common areas, the fridge is a good size , not the usual mini one, i like the layout, plenty of storage, Takayama station is just 2-3 mns walk, it’s walkable to other attractions(5-15 mns) & plenty of restaurants or shops . Just the tv , no English channels as with other Japanese hotels.I felt safe & really happy w/ this hotel, i thought it’s old but was surprised it’s quite new , modern & spacious, For the price i got it’s really a gem."
