Guest House Ouka

Guesthouse Ouka was a wonderful base for exploring the charm of Takayama. The rooms are clean, cozy, and well-maintained, so it’s a peaceful retreat after a day of sightseeing. The lobby has a warm, inviting atmosphere where you can relax. The staff are exceptionally kind and always eager to help. They truly made my stay memorable. Clean facilities and thoughtful touches made it feel like home away from home.

Staff was friendly, polite and professional, basic English was fine, and there was a dedicated speech-to-text translation machine when needed. Single room was clean and cosy, blanket was sooooooo nice and needed during winter nights. Slippers and shower towels were provided, many restaurants around and very close to Takayama station. I came to visit the original scenes from Hyouka and they had the full manga series!!!!! Pity I couldn't read Japanese T_T Also you get a coffee discount coupon when checking in, they have some mad coffees there ^w^

I had a fantastic stay at this guest house in Takayama! The place was incredibly clean and organized, with a very quiet and peaceful atmosphere. It's located in a great neighborhood, not too far from the main train station, making it very convenient for exploring the city. The staff was exceptional - friendly, accommodating, and always willing to help. The living room was a lovely space to relax, and the kitchen was massive - probably one of the largest I've seen in any hostel! There was even a dedicated computer area with desktops, which was very helpful. The front desk had a reception area and an elevator for added convenience. Plus, there was a large flatscreen TV in the common area, perfect for winding down after a day of sightseeing. Overall, this guest house offered exceptional value for the price. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, quiet, and spacious place to stay in Takayama!

Everything about it. It was clean, cosy and very spacious. I stayed at the dormitory and it was so nice and big, there were plenty of toilets, showers and sinks so you'd never have to wait your turn. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Location was just a few minutes from the Takayama station. Close to a lot of places and it's just wonderful.

I loved this place so much i even came back to hang out after i checked out. I was only here for 1 night & i regretted it cause i had another booking. the rooms were massive and spacious it was so comfy that it didnt bother me how many ppl were there. There was so much space. the bathroom and toilets were many and super clean. the bed was clean and comfy. The kitchen & common areas were massive and i managed to meet very cool ppl here. But most of all the staff ! EMMY who checked me in gave me the best tips to eat and visit but most of all told me about an area to hike. It's because of her going out of her way i wouldn't have known or had one of the best days of my life. After check out she would allow me to come and hang & even tried to see if there was a space bed. i would stay here again no doubt.
