Watakano Island Mountain Vacations

We had a great stay on our mother daughter trip to Takayama. The location was perfect for getting around on foot close to many great landmarks. Our room had a beautiful view and was one of the biggest rooms we stayed in on our Japan trip. The onsen was a treat and the breakfast staff and front desk were so helpful and very kind. We loved our stay!

We stayed here for three nights and it was fine. We went back and forth between a four and three star rating. We really appreciated them upgrading us to a room with a bathroom (on mistake we booked a room without a bathroom) but overall we weren't overly enthused with the stay. They charged us C$33 per day for a five month old baby and all that was provided was a little bag of toys and an oversized kimono she could wear during the stay. We didn't have the breakfast as it was quite expensive (if I remember correctly something like C$30 each per day). The actual room was a bit worn and outdated but it was clean and we did like how they gave us little cookies every day. There was a nice lobby area with seating and free sake at night. The employees were polite and welcoming so no qualms there. The location was excellent for us - right next to the bus / train station and a 10 minute walk to the old town. I will also say that the laundrymat was free and convenient.

The hotel staff was very helpful and very friendly Please don’t forget to make a reservation for our taxi next time
