hello, do you have an onsen in your property?
Thank you for your inquiry. I am sorry but we don't have an Onsen. There is an Onsen facility closed to our accommodation, "Hidamari no yu". Best regards. TaiAnswered on 6 January 2024Hello I actually stayed there in 2018, it was really great. This is a strange question but i was wondering what brand of coffee beans and preparation you use? It was one of the best black coffees I've ever had! Thanks, Vince
Dear Vince San. Thank you for your inquiry. Our coffee is from "Nejimakigumo" coffee shop in Tokyo. And we always ask for Mandheling Bintag Lima. Our preparation for coffee is just paper drip but we use 15-20g/person coffee beans. Thanks. TaiAnswered on 9 October 2021I am interested in staying at this property. Is it possible to stay and do sightseeing without a car?
Thank you for your inquiry. Our accommodation is 10-15minutes away by car from Takayama station. I will shuttle for free. I think it's no problem without car if you don't mind that we are outskirts of the town. Thank you.Answered on 11 May 2023Hi, I'm thinking of booking a room Are the bathrooms and toilet in the room itself? (my preference) or are they in a shared common area?
We only have exclusive use bathroom and toilet. It depends on the room the shower room and toilet are inside or not. We have 4 different type rooms. I texted you details. Thank you.Answered on 29 July 2024
