We were a group of 5 staying at Hida House. The house worked perfectly for us! The bathroom was on the bottom floor while all the bedrooms were upstairs. This wasn't a major issue for us, but could be for those with young children or people who have difficulty negotiating stairs. Coffee and tea were stocked in the kitchen. The bath had plenty of towels, soaps, hair dryer and was sparkling clean. Gwenn met us on the walk from the train station and guided us to the house. He speaks perfect English (among other languages) and instructed us in the use of all the equipment in the house and gave us loads of useful tips for what to do and where to eat. The old section of Takayama is very walkable from the house. We only took the bus to the Hida Folk Village which was fun for all of us - including our teenagers! Gwenn: Thanks so much for the warm welcome on our arrival to Takayama and all the helpful tips of what to do. We actually ran out of time and wished we could have stayed at least a day longer. We made it through much of the list you provided and definitely had a wonderful dinner at The Bull. My husband (who loves steak) said that was the best he has ever had. I really can't think of anything you could have done to make our stay more enjoyable! Thank you again! 

Wonderful experience staying in a traditional tatami Japanese home. Located in a quiet neighbourhood but quite easily accessible to major attractions, restaurants and railway station; even by foot. Hosts Gwenn and Eva were wonderfully helpful, greeted us at the house, restaurant recommendations came in very handy and they helped make reservations if language is an issue. Highly recommended! 

Gwenn, un grand merci pour ton accueil et tes conseils. De très bons restos (Matsuki Sushi et Dinning Bull) a conseillé, super petite maison bien fonctionnelle, encore un grand merci pour ta disponibilité.

Merci à Gwenn pour son accueil et sa disponibilité tout au long du séjour, un programme de visite très complet et intéressant, des indications pour des restaurants variés et de qualité notamment Dinning Bull tout prêt de la maison. Les prestations de la maison sont de plus très complète.

Two very small things which in no way spoilt a very happy stay: - the hot water was a little unpredictable in the washbasin - as I was staying for a few days, I would have liked some wardrobe space to hang up my clothes But as I say, overall a very enjoyable stay. I have already recommended the house and your company to my family and friends, and I am looking forward to my next Japan Experience holiday!
