Hotel Associa Takayama Resort
What Guests Say
We enjoyed the breakfast - though not very large spread, the quality was very good. Big outdoor onsen with several pools and different temperature, and great views of the Japanese alps and countryside. Hotel is a little out of town centre but it's charm is the view. There's no convenience store or food places near the hotel. There's a hotel shuttle service but timing is an hour interval so really need to plan well or it's a long wait. Hotel seems to attract large tour groups. We counted at least 10 tour buses during our stay. To avoid the crowd, we had our breakfast after 8am. The onsen is big enough so there's no overcrowding even during the peak after dinner hours.

Exceed our expectation! The onsen blows our mind with forest view from high floor. The place is very well maintained and clean. We rent a car and the hotel is very close to takayama center, around 10 mins drive. Though there is frequent hotel shuttle bus service to the city center as well. Staffs are friendly and helpful.

Amazing place and really comfortable! The views from our room were great and really colorful during sunrise. The onsens were also very practical. The beds were very comfortable and big and the fact that the hotel is providing their own shuttle service to the train station is ideal and very practical.

Retro old school luxe. It would have been a very swanky hotel back in the day but we actually liked the old retro feel. The free onsens were fantastic with great views over the mountains. There is also a sauna. We made a lot of use of these. They provide a shuttle bus service to and from the hotel to the train station this was very handy as the hotel is a little out of town and which we preferred. The drip coffee in the room was great and restocked daily. The size of the room was fantastic.

Resort is very well-maintained and clean, albeit a little old. There is shuttle bus service between Takayama station and the resort. The guest onsen at level 5 and 7 is wonderful after a long day outside. It comes with indoor and outdoor pools. It was snowing when we were at the outdoor pool, it was an amazing experience. Housekeeping provides turn-down service every evening to prepare the futons for sleeping. We truly enjoyed our stay here.

We traveled with a toddler and this is no easy feat but the hotel had a designated play room with books, toys galore, coloring materials, stuffed animals and even a ball pit! The onsen was so relaxing after a long day of walking and the views are spectacular. If you enjoy a good breakfast then you’re in luck because the buffet offers not only a good variety but also quality. The shuttle service was really the star, without it this place would be out of the way. I would stay here again!

Great hotel that feels colonial in style, massive rooms, great views and amazing outdoor onsen (one of the best). Staff were great and bus shuttle to town worked well. Reasonably priced bar meals (food delicious) as restaurant high end and after big day out it’s nice to stay in.
