Octavio was a great host. He welcomed us with a drink while we checked in, after which he showed us around the Ninja House. A very nice and authentic Japanese style house. Our room must have a really good vibe/energy, as we had one of the best sleep of our trip :D Octavio looked after us and our needs during our stay. We even got a light breakfast with coffee in the morning (which was a pleasant surprise).

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.

I loved this place! On top of a hill and with beautiful Japanese decorations. I loved the Tatami mats in the room and the spacious kitchen/community area. The host is fantastic. I felt very comfortable and safe.
