Toyokawa Vacations from ￥42,365

The lobby looked very nice, but the rooms felt outdated, more like a 70’s style, which was a bit disappointing. However, the location was convenient — close to fun places like the Owl Café and a matcha course.

The hotel is 15min walk from the main Nagoya JR station (restaurants, department stores etc).

You can’t do much better than this when staying in Takayama. Right next to the station and walking distance to key attractions. The family suite was amazing and my daughters loved the camping play room and projector. The breakfast was perfect and the staff couldn’t be any more helpful. Great value stay!

This may be the most beautiful hotel we have ever stayed at. Bamboo and a Zen garden in front, a pond in the rear with a view of a lush hillside topped by a castle . Adjacent to the large Urakuen garden. Rooms and lobby decorated in the most tasteful manner. Staff gave excellent service. Adjacent to a river walk and in walking distance to one of the oldest castles in Japan, a large Shinto Shrine, a historic castle street, and a railway station.

If you’re traveling with luggages and need a cart, they only have a small trolley that is smaller than a regular luggage so it didn’t help and the hotel is on the 7th floor on the other side of the building while the parking is at the other end.
