Iori Stay

特別特別好的一家酒店，無論從服務、環境、還是設施各個方面都是滿分，值得入住！

The one thing I can say about the Iori is "wonderful". From the front desk personnel to the room, it was a delightful stay. We stayed in the main building, in a room full of light and nice details. The bathroom, with its onsen next to the shower, was very clever and practical: you could leave the bath full of water and just warm it up for the next use, which saves an enormous amount of water. There were pleasant surprises in the room, such as small gifts (bath salts, sweets), as well as a kettle for tea. The one criticism I would have is the breakfast: compared to other Japanese hotels, it feels rather lacking. It was placed in the hotel lobby, without any member of the hotel around, so when we didn't find a kettle, I had to go to the room to prepare my tea. The hotel is very close to the Takayama train and bus stations, and to a large number of restaurants and bars, and about 15 minutes' walk to the old part of Takayama.

Nice location in the old town. We were welcomed by a very friendly host at the station. Refurbished house with every modern amenity. Two toilets, two showers, one enormous onsen. Two bedrooms on the first floor which are very comfortable. Excellent beds and powerful airco. The fridge was well filed with water, juices, sake, beer and some sweets: a very nice touch. The bedroom on the ground floor has futons which are quite hard. Breakfast is served. We got the japanese breakfast which we didnt like. There is also a western breakfast, but i thought that was reserved for clients staying 2 nights (first breakfast japanese, second western). All in all an excellent stay in Takayama !

We stayed at the Deluxe Japanese Style Townhouse - IORI OJINMACHI. Beautiful townhouse. We stayed 3 nights and toured Takayama and did two excursions; one to Hida-Furukawa and the other was Shirakawa-go. Hida-Furakawa was very quiet in July but we had a great cultural experience visiting the museum and touring the sites. Shirakawa-go was a 50 min bus ride one way and although beautiful to see, there was absolutely nothing to do there! One hour tops is all you need. Food shops/restaurants may or may not be closed and may or may close early so it’s not very tourist friendly. Takayama itself is good for one full day to explore. Our hotel was comfortable and the manager was hospitable. We booked this particular townhouse because it had two toilets and two showers. We were here in July and the beds had a thick duvet which made it super hot to sleep at night even with AC on. A quilt would have been better. My hubby ended sleeping naked and he still had to kick off the duvet in the middle of the night. We were all sweating buckets. The sun comes out early every morning around 5:30am so blinds would be nice in the bedrooms.

Une petite maison assez sombre avec un escalier très rude voire dangereux. Le petit déjeuner n'est pas copieux ni gouteux. C'est dommage car le jeune homme français qui s'occupe de nous est hyper gentil et compétent. L'emplacement est idéal car très central.
