Yamakyu Review

Cozy, antiques-filled nooks with chairs and coffee tables become small lounges in this old Tera-machi minshuku. In the mineral-water baths a giant waterwheel turns hypnotically, complemented by recorded birdsong. Although there's an 11 pm curfew, dinner hours are more flexible than those of the typical minshuku, and the food, of astonishing variety, is superb. Fifteen of the rooms have private toilets, but there are no private baths. Yamakyu is east of the Enako-gawa, at the very top of San-machi dori, a 20-minute walk from Takayama Station.
