Convenient and a good price.
Relatively close to the morning markets. For the price you get a full room, very clean showers and bathrooms, and a good amount of space. Note that the walls are quite thin so you can hear other people pretty easily.
Super clean and cozy place. They were great but Expedia wasn’t with this one. I thought I was getting single Japanese style room with share bathroom. I arrived and found out I’m in mix dormitory. Picture shows you single room and information was single room with share bathroom until I arrived there. I don’t think junk it had anything to do with the place. They were all great. Again, super clean. Thank you
Guest House Ouka is amazing!! The rooms and common area are very comfortable. The staff is so friendly and accomodating. They have tons of food and entertainment recommendations on the walls so I didn't have any worries about how to spend my time in Takayama. Lastly, they had unlimited free tea in the kitchen.
Es una opción económica y bien ubicada en Takayama. Optamos por la habitación privada. Se duerme en cómodas colchonetas y la habitación está muy limpia. Sí recomiendo.
Leider sehr hellhörig. Ich habe 3 Nächte gebucht. Wäre am 2. Tag keine lauten Gäste aufgetaucht, wäre alles Megafein gewesen. So hat es die Nacht eher erschwert... War für den Tag dann etwas unglücklich. Sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter und der handschriftliche Willkommensgruß war klasse.
