Really liked the Japaneese style hosting
A nice hotel that gives the real adventure of traditional Japanese style - sleeping, eating and usingt he onsen. We liked it though it was enough for two nights (more than that would be chalenging for western family with kids)

Good Hotel but Wifi is Terrible
Hotel was good, about 10 minutes drive to the bus station to Kamikochi. The osen is probably the best feature of the hotel. Breakfast was disappointing compare to other Japanese styled hotel we been at. We booked the room with breakfast and was given a western style breakfast, we wanted the Japanese breakfast but couldn't communicate due to language barrier. One other downside was the wifi, never worked for us during our stay. The wifi was not password protected but none of our mobile devices were able to join. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend the hotel.

Onsen with a view
The check in service was wonderful, very speedy and informative. The view is gorgeous and the food spread was wonderful for dinner. It would have been nice to have a western choice for breakfast maybe. The room is nice and big for the family. The outdoor onsen was a bit old and dirty.

Quiet onsen
The onsen is awesome, however due to weather the rain dampen the mood. But the outdoor baths are still availble regardless. Good find, mostly the locals will be frequent the place. Need to come with your our car.

I like kukata
Really excellent hotel and hot spring amenities. Very clean. Very good service. Almost like a ryokan, but without heavy price tag. Have affordable restaurant onsite so food is not a problem. Also the restaurant does vegetarian. Love wearing the kukata around hotel and sleeping. Great location and bus stop right outside or can get a more frequented stop 10 min away.

Gem hidden in Mountain
The drive from Takayama to this Onsen hotel was a little tough due to the low visibility after sunset in winter. Narrow & winding road was covered by snow, and need extra care. However the destination itself, Garden Hotel Yakedake really impressed me, the they have common bath, open air Onsen plus open air mixed bath (man & woman together) however, after 10pm, the mixed open air bath only open to lady for safety reasons. The dinner was generous which they serve Hida Beef along with Kaiseki course. Even though there isn’t much activities or shopping nearby, their souvenir shop was quite impressive as well. Overall a thumb up.

Beautiful region
The area where it is at is beautiful. The staffs at the onsen, alpine rose restaurant, cleaning and the kaiseki staffs are extremely helpful. The front desk staffs are quite good. However, their English are quite limited. Quite difficult for a complicated request and if there are any complaints. There is only one bus that passes through the area every 1 to 2 hours. Furthermore, the hotel does not have any shuttle bus service. So plan your trip in advanced. Definitely worth it to go to the area and experiencing a traditional onsen.

Great Hot springs
Nice soak away from everything. nice size room enough for 4 adults. It's better to have room with included meal plan. There is an additional a la carte restaurant on site.

Outrageous! Everything was ok until we found out some spa pools (especially the rental spa pools we paid for) are open for public that a walk path is located behind. I don't think the staff there would let their family try the outdoor spa there.

Traditional hotspring stay
Very nice hot springs, especially the mixed pool. However, the water is a bit cold for the ladies outdoor pools. Though the service was slow, the Indian curry set dinner was very tasty and value for money. Location wise, you can only catch the public bus or taxi to reach the hotel. Shame that the hotel does not have its own bus to receive guests at Hirayu. Overall, it is a very enjoyable stay.

Room was very clean and staff was amazingly helpful. Choice of basic restaurant is very limited and Kaseki dinner requires early reservation and is quite expensive with excessively rushed service. Great onsen facilities.

Fab hotel, beautiful onsen
It is an isolated hotel an hour out of Takayma. But there is a bus that stops outside the hotel every other hour that leaves from the bus station in Takaya. The onsen was beautifully hot and relax after traveling with a large backpack. everything you needed was in the room (razers towels, hairdryer). We had a Japanese styles room which was clean and somewhat comfortable (I would have preferred a thicker futon but that's just me. Some crossed wires when asking where we could get dinner and breakfast ment a baptism by fire with traditional Japanese cuisine what I could/did eat was wonderful but third was a lot that my western palette could not stomach. we had a wonderful stay. And would go back again

A warm experiences
This is a hotel in the middle of mountain in Hirayu area. Above the cleanness, comfort level..... I stay there couple of days. The hotel staff pick me up to bus station in Hirayu (5 Km away). I saying that the hotel does not have any officially shuttle program. They are go out their way to help me catch up with the bus schedule so i do not waste my time of bus station for waiting. And most importantly i have enough time to visit Kamokochi national park. I really appreciate the altitude customer first of this hotel.

近いから、泊まるまでも無いかな?
ホテル側のせいではなく、ネットで入力すると、部屋の種類も選べないし、子供の年齢を入力したら料理も決められてしまい、直接交渉しなくてはいけなかった。 料理の数は夕食も朝食も多過ぎて、食材もチョウザメ以外は特別珍しい物も無く、地元で普段食べているので、感動しなかった。 温泉以外はカラオケぐらいで何もなく、散策する様にも整備されていない。(熊が出ると怖い。) 地元民なら日帰り入浴で十分だと思いました。
