The Machiya Hotel was one of our favorite places to stay during our trip. We appreciated the kindness of the staff and the homey feel of the common areas. The rooms here modern, well designed and had everything we needed. It was so nice to be able to quietly sip tea and the provided sweets after a long day of exploring. Thank you for a lovely visit to Takayama!

Takayama is a city that is recently overrun with tourists and, understandably, the locals have mixed feelings about it. The staff at Machiya Hotel were uniformly genuine, friendly and helpful. The property itself is lovely too, and they've done a good job converting it into a hotel.

I would definitely recommend this hotel - the service is impeccable, the rooms are 5 star standard, and breakfast (additional charge) was well worthwhile in relaxing lobby. We booked the Hinoki Private Bath which was exceptional. This hotel is within walking distance to main attractions and local restaurants. Staff are exceptional, friendly, and English speaking. Book early as is smaller hotel. We will be return guests!

Nice staff but room just too small and badly laid out to be comfortable for 2 people. No natural light. Not a nice vibe. Left a day early as it was depressing. Of course no refund as it was booked on Expedia.

Great stay!
Staff were very accommodating and kind. There was a major train delay that got us in very late and the staff was understanding. Everything was clean and the rooms were very spacious. The hotel was located conveniently from the train station to the different sightseeing areas - all in comfortably walkable distance. We would definitely stay here again - highly recommend.

The best hotel I’ve ever stayed at in Japan. It’s conveniently located between the train station and the old town. Staff was super accommodating, welcoming and helpful. Great meal area, breakfast is great (western style), laundry, Onsen, spacious room. Very high quality, wish we could have stayed longer!

I was a little disappointed with this hotel after reading very positive reviews. The decor felt a little dated and in need of a refresh, lots of black walls which made it feel dingy, and I could only open the window in my room by 1cm. Didn’t see anyone else in the hotel at the same time as us, so it lacked atmosphere - only other sound was the music playing in reception. For cheaper prices, other hotels which I had considered booking were in a much nicer area (in the old town), and had onsen which could be used free of charge - walked past whilst walking round the nice areas of Takayama and regretted my decision. The onsen required a payment of 2000 yen per person which I had not realised. Overall disappointed for the price, compared to many other hotels we stayed on our 3 week trip in Japan (many for a cheaper price) this had less facilities, a less appealing location, and no nice touches such as welcome drink, bottles of water in the room.

We had an excellent stay at the MACHIYA hotel in Takagawa and would recommend again. The staff were super helpful, from recommending great places to eat to serving cookies and drinks after a long day of sightseeing. The location was also extremely convenient and easy walking distance from Takayama Station (10 min), morning market (10 min), historic district (5 min) and Hida open air museum town (20 min). It’s on a quiet street and has a modern, hip feel with jazz music and coffee/tea in the lobby area. We reserved the onsen in the evening and enjoyed a wonderful drink (sake, wine, beer, juice) with the onsen experience. The homemade breakfast was also quite delicious and filling.
