Liked: Very clean, well equiped and good location 5 mins from the station and the historic part of Takayama. The staff were helpful and there were lots of useful advice and suggestions of things to do. I especialliy liked the futon style bunk beds which gave you lots of space and privacy.

Disliked: For me it a little too quiet and lacked atmosphere a little, although it was probably because the hostel was only partly full as it was the depths of winter. Also the wifi wasn't very reliable.

Liked: Great hostel. Really good location, friendly staff who are very helpful. They even had a gyoza party while I was there. The beds are comfy and spacious, and there are big curtains around them, so you have privacy. The rooms are also quite spacious, which is really nice. Great location, easy to get to everywhere, and close to the station. Lots of information about things to do.

Liked: We loved this hostel. The room was in traditional Japanese style with really comfy futons. The whole hostel is spotlessly clean, lovely kitchen and great laundry service. The staff are so helpful - nothing is too much trouble. The location is spot on - 5 minutes walk from the train and bus station.

Disliked: Nothing - it is great!

Liked: J-Hoppers Takayama is a great hostel, spotlessly clean, really friendly staff (who answered our endless questions on how to get to local spots outside Takayama in the middle of winter - and always with a smile!), free wifi in the rooms, free kitchen to use, and much more. As from the comments from other users, the showers are only available on the ground floor which can be a bit of a hike from the 4th floor down the stairs, but really a minor issue. We loved our stay there and Takayama is a great town with plenty to see and do in the area.
