The one thing I can say about the Iori is "wonderful". From the front desk personnel to the room, it was a delightful stay. We stayed in the main building, in a room full of light and nice details. The bathroom, with its onsen next to the shower, was very clever and practical: you could leave the bath full of water and just warm it up for the next use, which saves an enormous amount of water. There were pleasant surprises in the room, such as small gifts (bath salts, sweets), as well as a kettle for tea. The one criticism I would have is the breakfast: compared to other Japanese hotels, it feels rather lacking. It was placed in the hotel lobby, without any member of the hotel around, so when we didn't find a kettle, I had to go to the room to prepare my tea. The hotel is very close to the Takayama train and bus stations, and to a large number of restaurants and bars, and about 15 minutes' walk to the old part of Takayama.
