Takayama, Honshu, Japan

Beautifully designed using Japanese cedar, said to create a naturally relaxing effect, Hidatei Hanaougi epitomises traditional ryokan hospitality. The Japanese style rooms are spacious, and there is the option to upgrade to a room with a private outdoor bath. Being one of the few hot springs where the facilities and the source are owned by the same owner, Hidatei Hanaougi is quite rightly very proud of its hot springs. With indoor and outdoor baths to choose from, we can’t think of a better way to end day. With a focus on locally sourced, season-fresh food, expect to see fresh seafood and the finest local Hida beef on the menu, all served in your own private dining room.
