Experience of the stay
Pros: The facility is clean & stylish, there is a large public bath and private baths.
Cons: None in particular.
Recommendation: ★★★★★ (5 stars)
I stayed at Mercure Hida Takayama as a base for sightseeing in Shirakawa-go, and as expected from the Mercure brand. It has a nice atmosphere and a bar is also available. Especially good were the large public bath and private bath. The large public bath is free for guests, while the private bath is paid, but it's spacious and a bath I would definitely like to use again.
Experiences during the trip
There is a direct bus from the platform just a short walk from the hotel to Shirakawa-go. Tickets can be purchased on the same day, but many buses were fully booked, so if you want to be sure about the timing, I strongly recommend buying in advance. The scenery was magnificent.
