Featuring a shared lounge, Hostel Miyagawa by Murasaki is located in the centre of Takayama, less than 1 km from Takayama Station. The property is situated 49 km from Gero Station, 700 metres from Takayama Festival Float Exhibition Hall and 46 km from Kamikochi. The property is non-smoking and is set 3.1 km from Hida Minzoku Mura Folk Village. Awesome location right next to the Miyagawa river across from the morning market, nice traditional style Japanese room with tatami mats and futon mattresses, had a warm and welcoming lounge area with basic cooking amenities (fridge, hot water, dishes/utensils, etc) and even free teas with snacks. The staff were also very friendly and helpful, definitely a great place to stay if you're not that proficient in Japanese (some staff spoke fluent English). They offered free baggage storage even after checkout on the same day. I should also note that the place has just opened up this march of 2024 so all the utilities (showers, toilets, heaters, etc) are brand new and work excellently. The (very spacious) room came equipped with plenty of natural light from windows, adjustable warm/cold light, a gas heater, and the aforementioned futon/electric blankets. Easily the best hostel in Takayama and possibly all of Gifu prefecture, can't recommend it highly enough.

The hostel will provide guests with air-conditioned rooms offering a desk, a kettle, a fridge, a microwave, a safety deposit box, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with a shower. All rooms will provide guests with a stovetop. We were accomodated in different place than was advertised, so I cannot review anything. Price was high, but it could be because of the autumn festival that was happening that day.
