Relaxing Onsen Experience

I absolutely loved the onsen facilities at Hotel Associa Takayama Resort. The outdoor baths offered stunning views of the city, which added to the overall relaxing experience. It's a real treat to soak in the hot water while enjoying the beautiful scenery around you. I found the indoor pools to be well-maintained and spacious, making it a perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploration.

Delicious Dining Options

During my stay, I had the opportunity to enjoy dinner at the hotel restaurant, and it was fantastic! We ordered the special set dinner for two, and every dish was beautifully presented and delicious. Breakfast was a good buffet with a good selection of Japanese and Western options, all very fresh and tasty. The dining experience truly contributed to the relaxing atmosphere of the hotel.

Spacious and Comfortable Rooms

The room I stayed in was incredibly spacious and came with large twin beds. I really appreciated the comfortable seating area with a sofa and armchairs, which made it feel like a home away from home. The room offered beautiful views of the mountains, and I enjoyed relaxing there after a long day. Plus, the availability of amenities like a mini fridge and yukata for the onsen was a nice touch.

Well-Equipped Bathroom

The bathroom in my room was well-equipped, including double sinks and ample space for all my toiletries. I loved that they provided shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The only thing I missed was body lotion, which is typically standard in many hotels. Overall, the bathroom was clean and comfortable, enhancing my overall stay experience.

I had a lovely overnight stay at this hotel with spacious, clean rooms and stunning views of the valley. The breakfast options were plentiful and quite delicious. However, the hotel felt a bit dated in places, and I noticed that the breakfast could benefit from more variety as some options were unusual for the morning. Overall, it was a good experience with the convenience of a shuttle service to the train station.
