FAV LUX Hida Takayama

Great modern hotel located just up from the station. Easy walk across to the old town and important sightseeing locations. Blackout curtains and modern comfortable beds and not tatami made for our first deep sleeps of the holiday! Room design was very clever and fitting a family of four with two teenagers into one room was very simple.

Great location right near the train and bus stations (which you need if you're doing day trips out of Takayama), plus walkable to all the Takayama sights. Very clean and bright. Beds and pillows comfortable. Fit our family of 6 fine and didn't seem too crowded, (but not much room for luggage for 6) though we didn't stay in the hotel a lot. You did have to juggle the one bathroom. It doesn't include breakfast but there is a nearby hotel/restaurant (Country Hotel) where you can purchase a breakfast buffet for 1000 yen. Make sure to try the Hida yogurt there it's so good.

My stay at FAV LUX Hida Takayama was truly delightful. The location is a major highlight—being so close to both Takayama Train Station and the Nohi Bus Center made it incredibly convenient to explore the area, whether by walking or taking the bus. There’s even a minimart just a 1-minute walk in front of the hotel, which was perfect for grabbing quick essentials. The room itself was a haven of comfort. The bed was comfortable enough for a restful sleep, and despite the proximity to the train station, the room was surprisingly quiet, allowing for peaceful nights. The scenery from the window was absolutely breathtaking, offering stunning views that made every morning special. Another bonus was the easy access to the charming Old Street, which was just a short walk away, letting us soak in the historic beauty of Takayama at our leisure. Overall, I highly recommend FAV LUX Hida Takayama for its unbeatable location, comfortable accommodations, and beautiful surroundings. It’s a fantastic choice for anyone visiting Takayama, and I would definitely stay here again!

The hotel is unique with a loft-style bedroom. My toddler loved it and treated it like a playground. The room is extremely clean and feels brand new. I love that each bed has its own power socket and a small ledge for placing a phone. The modern dimmable cove lighting creates a nice ambiance. Before check-in, a QR code needs to be filled in, and the same QR code is used to enter the room—very well designed. The check-in process felt modern and seamless. I also appreciated the Japanese toilet with a heated seat and a comprehensive remote. The bathroom is a neatly prefabricated unit that looks clean and well-maintained. The location is fantastic—less than a 5-minute walk from Takayama Station and close to the Morning Market and Old Town. Along the way, there are great food options, a supermarket, and a drugstore. A FamilyMart convenience store is also just a 3-minute walk away. During my 14-day trip to Japan, this was the best hotel we stayed in. ❤️

We have spent 4 weeks in Japan, staying in various hotels. This by far exceeded all of our expectations. The in room bath and sauna was absolutely amazing and a huge welcome when returning from being in snow all day. The bathroom was such a hit that our family needed to have our own 'roster' 🤣 The hotel is located perfectly close to the train station and a 7 minute walk to Old Town. We have already decided to come back to Takayama and stay for 2 weeks.
