Gifu Takayama City

Honjin Hiranoya Kofukan is a long-established hot spring ryokan near the old streets of Takayama City in Gifu Prefecture. From the large public baths on the top floor of the annex, Moonlight Bath and Kirara Bath, you can take in sweeping views of the Hida mountain range and the seasonal scenery along the Miyagawa River. Men can enjoy a refreshing dry sauna and cold shower at Relax Manten, where spectacular views of the Hotaka mountain range and a star-filled sky await. Women can relax at Relax Kura, where the hotel’s own hot spring bubbles up inside a white-walled earthen storehouse, offering a luxurious, history-filled retreat that feels distinctly like Takayama.
