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.

1. It's quite near Takayama Nohi Bus Center - about a 10 minute walk. 2. The property is very new, so everything is clean and in working condition. 3. There's a kitchen with fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle, where you can eat or prepare your food. 4. It's in a nice quiet neighborhood. 5. The owners, Peng and Oscar, went out of their way to make me feel welcome. They were very friendly and genuinely helpful, when I had some special requests. I couldn't have asked for nicer property owners!

Amazing location between the bus station/train station and the old town, close to lots of restaurant options. Incredibly clean (the shower absolutely sparkled!) and spacious for two people. Sleeping in the loft was quite warm in July, even with the AC on, but that is no fault of the property, just something to note. We really appreciated having a washer/dryer! Detergent was already preloaded in the machine, so we didn’t need our own.

The guesthouse is located up above the city center, close to everything. I believe there are 2 houses and I wasn’t in the main one but it was all clean, had 2 bathrooms and 2 toilets, all the utilities, and bonus there is a cute garden at the back where you’re allowed to smoke (this is uncommon for japanese houses). The host was really nice, spoke a good english and show me on a map everything that could be seen near the city center. I had a great time in Takayama, it’s a really beautiful place!

It is a very cozy hostel, you feel immediately at home. The owner is very helpful and gave us a lot of recommendations and information about the sourroundings. Also, there is lot of information at the reception you can read by yourself. There is a great bookshelf with interesting books for adults and also books and games for children. Our children loved them and they wanted to stay the whole day at the reception. In the morning we got coffee with a smile and the room is so comfortable it felt like home. There are so many small but nice details like the backup towel at the shower, the children books at the room or that we got three futons on the floor instead of the bunk bed, which is not very easy with small children or the well equipped kitchen. Great recommendation for this wonderful place!! I wish we could have stayed longer.
