Machiyado Ichiryu

Located in the heart of town, it’s very convenient for sightseeing. The exterior is small and understated, but once inside you’re welcomed by a warm, hospitable atmosphere that feels like a special escape. The in-room bath isn’t a hot spring, but there is always plenty of hot water, so you can soak whenever you like. The complimentary snacks in the lounge were also delicious. Dinner is served in a private room, where you can relax and enjoy an excellent meal. One Hida Takayama specialty after another is brought out. For an additional fee, you can add more Hida beef dishes or upgrade the cut; my daughter chose shabu-shabu, my husband chose seared sushi, and I upgraded the cut—and everything was highly satisfying. It’s exciting to watch the shabu-shabu and seared sushi finished right in front of you. Dinner, breakfast, and the lounge were all outstanding. Every staff member was kind and helpful. We’re truly glad we chose this inn.

This was my first time staying at Ichiryu.From the moment we arrived, the staff were extremely courteous, and we felt at ease entering the Accommodation.Before dinner, we enjoyed a private Onsen.The Facility was kept very clean, and the amenities—organic products from Gifu—were wonderfully soothing.Dinner was excellent, with everything locally sourced,and the low-temperature cooked Hida beef in particular was delicious.One disappointment was that breakfast tasted completely different from the previous night’s dinner.Overall, this is a wonderful Accommodation with consistently warm smiles and attentive service from all staff, and I would definitely like to visit again soon.
