Experience of the stay
I fully enjoyed the sights of Takayama and stayed at Yatsuzan-kan, which is about a 30-minute drive (3 train stations) away!
Upon arrival, I was treated to tea and seasonal sweets and guided to a guest room built in the Meiji era.
The interior, pure Japanese style, was very quiet and adorned with seasonal decorations in various places, making it a joyful experience.
While meals were not included in my reservation, I requested breakfast and dinner in advance.
It was convenient that all communication with the inn could be completed within HafH!
As expected from a high-class ryokan, the meals were incredible!
I had a private dining experience, and I was satisfied both physically and mentally with the seasonal presentation of local ingredients.
The staff said, "We're so happy both of you ate all the dishes beautifully," but I felt like thanking the chefs myself for how satisfied I was!
The hospitality from the proprietress and the staff was delightful, and the food was delicious.
This was an inn I would want to visit repeatedly just to see the seasonal decorations inside!
Experiences during the trip
On the first day, I went to Takayama.
It was raining, so I went to the Takayama Retro Museum and played retro games.
There were so many 'Tamagotchis' that I couldn’t get when I was a child, and it brought back memories!
On the second day, I wandered around the inn and moved to Shirakawa-go.
The mountain route was quite challenging with hairpin turns and dazzling summer grass.
The summer scenery of Shirakawa-go was beautiful, truly capturing the essence of summer in Japan!
