Positive: My stay at SOY was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with such genuine warmth and kindness that it immediately felt like a home away from home. The family went above and beyond in every possible way — their generosity, attentiveness, and care truly made the experience unforgettable. The house itself is absolutely stunning — beautifully maintained, thoughtfully designed, and incredibly comfortable. Every detail has been considered, creating a space that is both relaxing and inspiring to stay in. What really sets SOY apart, though, is the host Tai and his family. Their hospitality isn’t just professional — it’s heartfelt. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests having the best possible experience. This was easily a 5-star stay, and I couldn’t recommend it more highly. Don’t hesitate — you won’t regret it.
Summary: Must Stay !

Positive: Definition of great service and proper immersion in a Japanese stay. I’d definitely come back and recommend to anyone visiting Takayama. Tai-San and his family were nothing short of amazing. The hotel is a beautiful Japanese styled home, with a cozy fireplace and wonderful garden views. The room has a very soft tatami and super comfortable futon to sleep on. Our rest there was great! Everything has been done with great care and detail in the house which really surfaces up and makes you feel you are in a special place. In terms of service, Tai and family had great disposition to make our stay as comfortable and smooth as possible. Tai went to the train station to pick up our luggage as soon as we arrived and left us to wander the marvellous Takayama during the day to finally pick us up after dinner. He was always accommodating to our daily itineraries and full of great tips for Takayama and surroundings as well as good restaurants recommendations. He even had the patience to stand my bad attempts at speaking Japanese! I’m very sad that the stay has come to an end and really wish we could’ve stayed more to enjoy this beautiful place. From Olga and Santi :)
Summary: Best experience we had in Japan!!

Positive: Tai and family are exceptional hosts. The house is beautifully restored from a silkworm farm, with much wood showing. Sleeping was very comfortable on futons with Yakutas provided. Tai met us at the station, took our luggage on, and left us to look around Takayama, but amazingly provided umbrellas as it was raining - a typical example of how much thought the hosts give to guests. He then picked us up later, and the following day dropped us in town with suggestions of what to see, and finally dropped off our luggage at the railway station in the afternoon. Breakfast was offered as Japanese and Western - both beautifully presented (his mother is an excellent cook). The house is next to a road, but no noise, and has a beautiful garden and overlooks fields of crops. Nights outside were cool, but the wood burning stove heated the whole building. Nothing was apparently too much trouble - providing a very relaxing stay.
Negative: Nothing!
Summary: A wonderful experience of Japanese hospitality

Positive: Honestly can’t rate this BnB highly enough. Tai was so kind and helpful. The food was outstanding with great local produce crafted into a delicious breakfast. Tai even went as far as to offer to collect us and drop us off each day from our nearby tourist destinations which saved us a good wedge of time. The annex house where we stayed was charming and we enjoyed ending the day by sitting by the fire with Tara the cat. Thank you ever so much and can’t wait to return.
Negative: Nothing at all
Summary: Wonderful stay

Positive: As soon as I made the booking, Tai, the host, messaged me to make sure I knew SOY was a few minutes drive from town. We had a car, but would have managed perfectly well without. We made use of the shuttle service to have dinner in Takayama, and do some tasting at a couple of the many sake breweries in town. Tai gave us restaurant recommendations, and assisted by making a booking for us at one that is walking distance from the property. The property is a renovated traditional house, with very comfortable Japanese-style rooms and beautiful grounds. We enjoyed breakfast looking out at the gardens, and the koi in the pond. After the previous 5 days in Osaka and Kyoto, SOY and Takayama were a tranquil haven.
Summary: Beautiful, comfortable property, with hosts that go above and beyond

Positive: We had a wonderful stay here, where everything was exactly as described and shown in the pictures. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and really relaxing. After the hustle and bustle of Tokyo and Kyoto, it felt like the perfect retreat in Takayama. Tai and his family were incredibly warm and welcoming, and we really appreciated all of Tai’s help both before and during our stay, especially with making reservations. He’s genuinely a very kind person. The Japanese breakfast was also delicious, and the hospitality throughout was exceptional. We would absolutely stay again and we will remember it fondly when looking back on our trip to Japan.

Positive: We absolutely loved everything about our stay at Soy. Our host, Tai, was so welcoming and kind, from picking us up at the train station and taking our luggage back to the house to sending us wonderful recommendations (all of them were fabulous!) for the area. He also kindly offered to drive my sister and her husband to their accommodations when we all arrived at the bus stop together. The breakfast was delicious and the house was so cozy and comfortable. We had the best time and would happily come back if we’re in Takayama again. Couldn’t recommend Soy enough
Negative: Nothing

Positive: We loved every minute of our time with Tai and his family at SOY. Tai made everything so easy for us with advice and assistance on travel logistics. The shuttle service provided was so convenient. The breakfast and accommodation were superlative with lots of thoughtful touches. We especially enjoyed staying in the old wooden house with traditional sliding doors and contemporary comforts. Highly recommended. Arigato.
Summary: The best accommodation and hosts we have experienced.
