Ryokan Tanabe

Twice I’ve stayed here, way back in 2018 and 2023, I’m part of a group, and this is the hotel/ryokan they used, in 2018, as a solo, I like the room but I more like it when in 2023, I traveled with my sister and the room they gave as, were so beautiful like a single home..the only thing is, you have to use a real key, it’s not digital but the bathroom were modern western style…the foods? So delicious!! I’m so happy that the travel agency use their ryokan for their clients..there is a onsen too in the facility but none in your room..it run by generation family members..the ryokan is walking distance from the JR station..and also close to the main center of attraction..

Si se viaja a Japón es prácticamente obligatorio dormir ni que sea una noche en un ryokan. En Ryokan Tanabe encontraréis lo más típico de los alojamientos típicos japoneses para una experiencia completa: futones, cena y desayuno tradicional japonés y onsen. Vale la pena.

Prima volta in un tipico ryokan,tutto molto positivo partendo dall’accoglienza,passando dalla cena e finendo con il pernottamento.Si trova al centro della meravigliosa e tradizionale Takayama,ho letto che nel 2019 addirittura fece parte della guida Michelin!

Non ero mai stato in un Ryokan e devo dire che mi è proprio piaciuto. Immerso nel vero spirito giapponese, con un ottimo Onsen, belle stanze e futon estremamente comodi, anche per chi come noi non vi è abituato. Ottima anche la cucina tipica a cena e colazione.

Great experience at this lovely traditional hotel in the center of Takayama. Just 9 minute walk from the train/bus station. We stayed 2 nights in room 13 which had its own little onsen with a cedar bath (although it didn’t use spring water like the communal bath). They provided us yukatas (cotton robes and sashes) to wear inside the Inn. Ladies get to pick the color :) We were happy to have a little alcove in our room with 2 chairs and a small table where we could hang out when in the room. The room is otherwise sparse and they lay out the futons after you eat your meal at the low table on the floor in the center of the room. Not the easiest thing to sit on the floor for a 3-course dinner but we managed. there is a nice seating area with the a coffee machine in the lobby. They were willing to work around food restrictions (no seafood for one of us) because we provided the info in advance. The breakfast and dinners were traditional Japanese cuisine. You do not select from a menu. The staff was very nice and made the experience great.

In my opinion, it's just a basic ryokan. It's clean and efficient, but nothing special. I don't like to eat in the some room where I have breakfast and dinner. You have to eat and drink what they bring you. No choice. Just Japanese breakfast and only one small cup of green tea. It's a bit of " boarding school" type. The best thing is the location. Beds were comfortable( on the floor)
