The owner is very kind and very helpful. Listen to his recommendations, and you will see the best of Takayama. The room is great, spacious, and comfortable. It can be a bit cold in the morning, but there are extra blankets. It's a traditional house; if you want to experience a super friendly atmosphere, don't hesitate!

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.

The accommodation was exceptional. The apartment is modern, tastefully designed, and furnished with great attention to detail, creating both a stylish and homely atmosphere. All the furniture is custom-made. The hot tub with lights is perfect for two. The fridge was stocked with water, beer, and tea, and there was also a coffee machine with coffee. Slippers, terrace sandals, bathrobes, and even kimonos for all guests were provided – a very thoughtful touch. Check-in and check-out were simple and self-service, which was ideal as we arrived late and left early. We would have loved to stay longer, but our plans were already made. Highly recommended, even for demanding guests.
