Ryokan Stay with Private Outdoor Onsen ♨️ in TAKAYAMA, JAPAN 🇯🇵

In this video, we will be showing a gem located in Central Japan, in the Gifu Prefecture. Takayama.
We embarked on a 3-day trip to Takayama. Spending 1 night in Takayama town & 1 night at an Ryokan with private onsen (indoor & outdoor). Watch the video to find out what Takayama region has to offer!
Some of the must do things when in Takayama:
1) Eat some Hida beef (Wagyu which comes locally in Gifu-prefecture)
2) Ryokan stay in the mountains (Hirayu Onsen/Shin-hotoka Onsen)
3) Walk through the old streets of Takayama (Mini kyoto & less crowd)
👍 Appreciate all the like and subscribe
Thanks a lot for watching and I hope to see you in the next video!

What a great video . Thank you for sharing this beautiful place in Japan. Definitely will visit next time

[@johnnytsang7073]

looks so relaxing

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

Oh I really enjoyed this. You reminded me how excited I am every second I'm in Japan and how much I love taking the Shinkansen too. Takayama is a must-visit. It's just got so much to see and do there-- and it's absolutely gorgeous. I too highly recommend. Two retro Showa museums, an archery Dojo, some FANTASTIC regional history museums and of course, close proximity to Shirakawago. There's so much to see, do and eat that I couldn't hope to list it all in a simple online comment. Thank you so much for making and uploading such a charming, evocative video. Can't wait to return to Japan. 🗾🏯🎎🍜⛩🚅

[@1Godspeed_45]

I’ll note the archery dojo, tyty

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

@@1Godspeed_45 I don't know if he's still running it but it used to be open until 8pm! So it made for something really fun to do after an early dinner. Alternative night time activities in Japan is something NOBODY makes videos about. Not everybody cares for nightclubs and bars and there are so many quirky and really fun things to do after dark. Just thought I'd mention one of the oddball things I found! Things like this are great if you have kids or are entertaining older visiting relatives. I'd love to find more cool off the wall night time things to see and do. 😃

[@anastassiakud2273]

Wonderful video - thank you!

[@xavierica25]

Thank you :)

[@KhoiTruong]

[@eifelfreund2655]

👍🍀 Nice Video!

[@xavierica25]

Thank you :)

[@pharmatin]

beautiful video and editing! makes mine look really amateur LOL

[@Multi_Art_Artist]

Thank you for your film)) Your camera Sony is best of best to convey feelings of Japan. When I was visited Japan I could see everything like vew from your Camera)). And I liked your style of film, as you could convey real sound of street.

[@xavierica25]

Yeap. That was the film intention :) to let you guys who are watching have the feeling of being right there in the moment. Thank you for watching

[@cherylsemrau7100]

Beautiful. Should have a room tour. Greetings from Canada.

[@xavierica25]

Thank you :)

[@throoool]

Amazing video. thanks for sharing. May I know if the outdoor (rooftop) onsen shared amongst other guests within the ryokan?

[@xavierica25]

Glad you enjoyed the video :) you will have to book a time slot for the roof top Onsen. So during the time slot you booked, you have the outdoor Onsen all to yourself :) in Private

[@k9healthy]

Thank you. Your video inspires me to visit this part of Japan. May I ask when you went? Was it in early or late autumn? I really want to see the whole mountain full of foliage. Have a great day!

[@xavierica25]

Glad my video inspired your trip to Japan :) I went during early Nov but most of the autumn foliage in the mountains had disappeared. I suggest going in early autumn, around October period to enjoy the full blown autumn foliage. Do check the autumn forecast by the Japanese. They are quite accurate: )

[@jenntwithlove1603]

Hope u can include stay info (or link), guidelines & how to get there in the description box.... Took a while to actually realize it's yukimurasaki onsen u guys stayed at.... Thank you.... & you've got a new subscriber~~ 💕

[@xavierica25]

Thanks for the support :) sure, will include more info in the description for my upcoming videos.

[@MightyGodlikeG]

Thanks for the nice video, it really helps with looking for a ryokan to stay and what to expect. I have some questions though, i hope you can answer them. Do you guys speak japanese or was it managable with english? and did the dinner get served in your room in the yukimurasaki ryokan or in a public dining room?

[@xavierica25]

Glad you enjoyed the video :) we only spoke English, they can understand English. Maybe some hand gestures if they don't understand you fully. The dinner was served in the restaurant, each room has its own private dining area. Hope these answers helped you :)

[@MightyGodlikeG]

@@xavierica25 Great, thank you for the answers. I'll teach myself some basic phrases in japanese jsut to by somewhat safe :D

[@akumakh00]

Great LUT, which one did you use? Thanks

[@xavierica25]

Hi there, I shot on S-cinetone and only applied a slight colour grade. No specific LUT was used :)

[@animelover5093]

Does anyone think , going Takayama somewhere arly June will be a great time as well?

[@pravjyotsinghdeogun]

Wondering what food options would be available for a vegetarian.

[@ColoreandoFrames]

Hi! I have booked a room in the same Ryokan for May, can I ask what was the bus to get to the ryokan? Thank you :)

[@xavierica25]

Hi, you can take the Nohi Bus from Takayama Bus station to Shin-hotaka Onsen guchi stop. Should be about 2050 yen one way :)

[@Harunna24]

So beatiful! What's the name of the hida beef restaurant? Thank you

[@xavierica25]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video :) the name of the hida beef restaurant is Ajikura Tengoku

[@Vincent-pl3ck]

which month is it? Not cold outside?

[@xavierica25]

It was end Nov. Ending of autumn. It was quite cold around 0-3 °C. But to be submerged in hot spring while it is cold out is quite an experience :)

[@theangelalo]

Hello! May I ask how much did the stay cost? 🥺

[@xavierica25]

We stayed for 1 night. It cost us about 250 USD for 2 pax. Inclusive of breakfast and dinner.

[@alyannacastillo8072]

Are bathing suit allowed at the ryokan onsen?

[@xavierica25]

Bathing suits are allowed in private onsen. You may clarify with the reception otherwise:)

[@gayatrepatil3689]

How much u paid a night

[@xavierica25]

We paid ¥45000 for 1 night with 2 pax :) We travelled during low season, hence it is a little cheaper. One thing to note about the Japanese Ryokan is they charge by per pax because they usually serve dinner and breakfast according to how many staying in a room.

[@karanjaitwani8157]

Their lady on phone does not speak English, how can we talk to them?

[@xavierica25]

I think you can send an email to them with your enquiries. They will be able to reply to you back in English
