With a hostel like feel, the Ninja house is perfect for young travelers, or a group of young travelers. It is well situated within Takayama, being fairly central to everything. The walk from the station is simple enough, but can be a distance if you aren't used to it. The host was great, spoke very reasonable english, and was able to guide me through things to see, do, and eat. The room I got was great, slightly larger than what I expected. You are in a traditional house, so make sure you are up for sleeping on a futon. The ninja house is situated on a quiet side street, so noise isn't an issue. Clean, orderly, and tidy as with most places in Japan.

We chose to stay at Live Takayama during our trip to Takayama, and the experience was truly wonderful—beyond our expectations. The guesthouse is about a 15-minute walk from Takayama Station, conveniently located in a quiet area. The house is exceptionally clean and spacious, and the amenities are fully equipped—there’s a hot water kettle, coffee machine, microwave, washing machine, and everything you’d expect from a good hotel, if not more. One of the highlights is the free pick-up and drop-off service. We arrived at Takayama Station late in the evening on our first day, and it was pouring rain. Hiromi, the host, kindly waited for us at the station and welcomed us warmly—something we really appreciated. There are both Japanese-style and Western-style rooms available, and we chose the Japanese-style room this time. It was large, spotless, and beautifully arranged. Futons were already laid out and extremely comfortable, and sleepwear was also provided. Right next to the room was a shower room with both a shower and a bathtub. The toilet is separate, which allows for a proper wet-dry separation—very convenient and hygienic. Breakfast is served daily, with both Japanese and Western options. The Japanese breakfast features delicious rice balls and authentic miso soup, while the Western breakfast includes fluffy scrambled eggs and crispy bread—a perfect way to start the day. Hiromi, the host, is kind and gentle, always ready to help and answer any questions. There’s also an adorable little dog in the house—very quiet and well-behaved. If you're not a fan of dogs, don’t worry—it won’t bother you at all. On our last day, just before we checked out, Hiromi noticed that it was almost my mother’s birthday. She surprised us with heartfelt wishes and even gave a small gift—such a thoughtful and touching gesture that we’ll never forget. Overall, staying at Live Takayama was a comfortable and heartwarming experience. It definitely exceeded my expectations.

It’s a single apartment not far from Morning markets. Fab location. Super comfy bed! It’s two levels so if you can’t do stairs, it’s not a good option as bathroom is downstairs. Loved the poem and artwork on walls. Very beautiful And thoughtful ❤️

The ambiance is really cozy and relaxing. Very clean; well maintained. The jacuzzi really made the difference. The place is very private, you have the whole floor for yourself. Love that they have 1 parking reserved for guests plus free bike rental. Highly recommend this place.

Lovely decorated, traditional style stay. We had a huge room for 2 adults and enough space for our baby to play on the tatami mats. Walking distance to everything (takayama is rather small after all).
