Honjin Hiranoya Kofukan

It is in a very convenient location near Takayama Jinya, and free parking is also available.As it was right in the middle of the Hina Matsuri season, both the Hotel and the main building were decorated with many hina dolls, from old ones such as Goten-bina and Kyoho-bina to newly made dolls, which we really enjoyed.The seasonal kaiseki dinner was delicious, and even the tableware was thoroughly themed around hina dolls, making it an amazing experience.The Room had a river view that let us feel the atmosphere of the old townscape, and the Onsen bath was very relaxing.The staff were kind as well—this is a Ryokan I would recommend.

Thank you for taking such great care of us on our first trip to Takayama. Friends told us, “If you choose Hiranoya, you’ll have the best trip!” so we made a Reservation.After we booked, you contacted us by email, and your kind, polite, and friendly message turned our nervousness into excitement about staying with you. Thank you so much for your warm hospitality when you looked after our luggage and again at check-in.The Room was clean and spacious, and it made us so happy to be able to gaze all day at the view we’d been dreaming of—the red bridge, the river, and the snow-capped mountains. The sunrise in the morning was also absolutely beautiful!Since it was a night with heavy snowfall, we didn’t go to Relax Kura, but the bath in the annex was always spotless and comfortable, and we were able to soak in total relaxation.Every meal—dinner and breakfast—was delicious! We planned to eat lightly because we were going to the morning market, but everything tasted so good that we couldn’t hold back and ended up completely full (haha). It was my first time trying Nitakumoji, but it became a favorite—and I even bought some miso to take home.The original Sarubobo chopstick rest was too cute as well; I was thrilled that I could purchase one. It became my favorite souvenir from our Takayama trip!To everyone who took care of us: thank you truly from start to finish. You were kind, friendly, and fun—and it left a strong impression on us that not only we but also other guests around us were smiling and enjoying their time.Hiranoya is a wonderful Ryokan where everyone feels brighter and happier. Thank you sincerely for your excellent hospitality and an amazing stay—we are filled with gratitude. We would love to visit again. Thank you very much.
