Irori Yado Hidaya

Irori Yado Hidaya is a very small Japanese-style inn in Takayama, with a very limited number of rooms and an emphasis on generous room proportions. Its defining material detail is the use of century-old beams, which gives the shared atmosphere a tangible sense of age rather than a generic rustic theme.

A cypress bath adds another traditional note, while hot-spring communal and private bathing are available. The scale supports a quiet, unhurried stay for guests who value a compact inn over a busy spa property.

Hidaya works best for travellers seeking wood, quiet and a simple private-bath option near Takayama.
