Hotel Associa Takayama Resort

After we arrived at Takayama Station we had to work out where to find the shuttle bus that would take us to our accommodation. We had no idea when it would arrive so we just had to sit and wait - for about half an hour. The bus filled with Japanese tourists, mostly women, who come to the resort for the hot springs.

The hotel is 4 star and in comparison to our city hotels in Japan it is palatial! Our suite is 4 times the size of our room at the ANA Crowne Plaza - and it does not smell of cigarette smoke! An unexpected bonus is the view from our room of the northern Japanese Alps. The photo was taken through our window.

The onsen is very large with several different pools and hot tubs. Some of the pools are outside where we soaked contemplating the wonderful view of the mountains. No photos of course because cameras are not permitted in the onsen.
