Great location, lovely staff, and large, clean rooms. I stayed in a 4 person japanese style room and was very happy. It was February, but we were given lots of blankets and there was a heater. Kitchen is bigger and better equipped than most hostels, and there are reasonably-priced washing machines and dryers. Bathrooms are clean and showers are hot.... More

i have been to Takayama city 2x and on both occasions, i decided to stay here. 5 Minutes from the station and right opposite from the city post office, J. Hoppers offers inexpensive rooms in a home style atmosphere where fellow travelers get to mingle with one another, in the kitchen, dinning room, TV room , library etc. Every wall... More

We stayed here for 2 nights in the 8 bed dorm (¥2500 a bed a night). We arrived before check-in, but were alloud to put our luggage in the storage room. The staff gave us a wonderfull walking tour on a map. After returning and in-checking they gave us more advice of what to see in town and around. They... More

Visited Takayama for a 1 night stay and I really enjoyed my stay at J-Hoppers Hida Takayama Guest House. I stayed at a single room on the 4th floor. PROS - Awesome value for money place - Friendly, helpful staff! They helped me call the bus company to make ticket reservations so I was grateful - Just 5-10 minutes walk... More

There is no elevator and this room is on the 4th floor so beware if you are not fond of stairs. The small kitchen area was nice and we brewed coffee and made toast for breakfast. The location is ideal. Between... More

Our family of four stayed here for 2 nights, in a Japanese style family room. Room large and clean. Not en suite, but shared bathrooms clean. Staff very friendly and helpful. Good kitchen with free tea/coffee. PCs free as was DVD collection. Close to railway station and only a short walk to town centre. Takayama itself well worth a visit.

The hostel location is strategic for whom wish to enjoy the Takayama Festivals at day or night times. The walking distance to the festive and sight seeing spots. Most of all, housekeeping is very good. Staffs are helpful and English communication OK !

Very close to the station, in　front of the post office where you can withdraw money with cards not issued in Japan. A bit cold in April but plenty of blankets provided. The japanese style rooms are great and not expensive. Good and free internet access. The only small problem would be the very thin walls and ceilings, but it's only... More
