The staff are super friendly, the location is good and within walking distance to all of the sites in Takachiho I wanted to see, the room was comfortable and I am very pleased with my stay!
Pros: Good value. Spacious rooms. Relatively large beds. Quiet area. Easy, ample parking. Hotel connected to a convenience store. Good free breakfast. Walking distance to Amaterasu train attraction.
Cons: A bit further away from Takachiho Gorge, about 5min drive. No view from hotel. Laundry was a bit expensive, had to buy detergent from the front desk separately from the laundry machine fee.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Sunday night saw a lack of dining establishments. However there is a Lawsons convenience store below the hotel. An older style hotel but clean and quiet and close to the gorge entrance with beautiful gardens surrounding.
Staff were very nice and breakfast was great.
We travelled to Takachiho all the way from London. This hotel was so clean and had a wonderful view to Takachiho hills. Hotel staff were so helpful.
I love to visit Takachiho again and love to stay at Hotel grateful Takachiho.
Nice accents specific to Takachiho - a giant fresco of Sarutahiko in the lobby, and local sweets and tea when checking in.
Very kind English-speaking staff.
The only complaint is the tea / coffee cups in the room are ridiculously small.
Overall, a bit pricier than a business hotel but I would definitely stay there again.
Really welcoming and friendly staff. Nice touches like a cake on arrival and free breakfast in the morning. Easy walk from the bus station and near to the sights. I’d stay again!
Location, the convenient store is just downstairs and you can walk to everywhere if you like to walk.
Staff are so generous and friendly. Breakfast is vary and nice. All facilities in room are nice and clean. Big parking lots.
Amazing helpful staff, awesome room with a view of the mountains yet walkable to downtown to see the sights like temples, shrines and gorge. Lovely hotel, highly recommended.
