Katsuragi No Sato

First thing to say: Takayama was our favorite place in Japan. It’s a cute, artistic little village nestled in the mountains. The views are awesome! I highly recommend visiting the city and staying at this hotel. This is an amazing property. It’s very rustic and gorgeous. It is a schlep from the train station (approximately 60 minutes) and you must get there by bus on very twisty, winding roads. Our only regret was that we had one night here. If we visit Takayama again, we will stay here and spend three nights. We would get into the city early in the am and spend the day and night in town (by the train station) before boarding the am bus to come to this place. The owner is lovely (so is her mother) and was super sweet and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious! The onsen was clean and amazing! We just loved it! We had a huge space that was comfortable and clean. This hotel is old so expect that - rustic and old yet really sweet. I LOVED it! If you’re able to spend a few nights here, do it.

新緑の中家内と1泊しました。 福地温泉は2度目です。 前回は長座を利用させて頂きました。 長座、かつら木の郷、草円はそれぞれ長男、次男、三男の兄弟がオーナーだそうです。 かつら木の郷は部屋が離れになっている事と各部屋にある囲炉裏が特徴です。 囲炉裏で炭を焚べていると、時間を忘れてしまいます。とてもリフレッシュできました。 料理も良かったです。
