YAMASHITAYA

TAKAYAMA.JAPAN

A 130-year-old townhouse in the heart of Takayama.

Hida Takayama, Japan

Stay in the history of Hida Takayama. Carrying 130 years of history into the next 100.

For over 130 years, the Yamashita family has preserved this townhouse.

This place, protected through generations along with the name “Sasuke,”

is now beginning a new chapter as a lodging welcoming only one group per day, called Yamashitaya.

Soft light through the shoji screens.
Beams and pillars holding centuries of history.
The breeze crossing the garden and the sounds of each season.

Here, there’s a calm nurtured over 130 years.

Yamashitaya isn’t just a place to stay;

we aim for it to be a place that passes down the history and culture of Hida Takayama,

as well as the sentiments the Yamashita family has cherished for over 130 years, to the future.

The time you spend here becomes part of this building’s new history,

with each guest writing a new page in its story.

Here, the luxury isn’t in glamour, but in tranquility.

Feel the culture of Hida Takayama and spend slow, meaningful time with your loved ones.

Yamashitaya is not just a hotel.

It’s a place to calm your mind, step away from everyday life, amid history preserved for over 130 years.

And to carry this history forward into the next 100 years.

The story of the Yamashita family, passed down for 130 years.

From the Meiji era to the Showa era, and now to the present day.
Yamashita-ya preserves the life of the Yamashita family, who have passed down the name "Sasuke" for generations, and the memories of Hida Takayama.

It's about inheriting not just the building, but also the time that has passed through it.
That is the origin of Yamashita-ya's approach to innkeeping.
