紫旅館 宮川店 Hostel Murasaki MIYAGAWA — Hotel in Takayama

The room has an amazing view of the Miyagawa river especially in a winter white season. Really beautiful waking up to that. Nice warm room. But bunk beds for 2 people isn't that fantastic. We ended up not using the upper bunk. The toilet and showers located at the common 1st floor. Super cold on a winter day. Imagine brushing your teeth on a -1°c day.
