Fortune Inn: A Serene Retreat Just Minutes from JR Takayama Station
Located just a 10-minute walk from JR Takayama Station, Fortune Inn is a private, fully-rented home set along the peaceful banks of the Miyagawa River—offering travelers a unique blend of comfort, culture, and a touch of good fortune.
The name “Fortune Inn” carries two meanings: the graceful Nishikigoi (ornamental carp) that symbolize luck and prosperity, and our heartfelt wish for each guest to enjoy a peaceful, restorative stay.
Behind the house, Nishikigoi swim gently in the river, creating a tranquil backdrop. Sit on the grassy bank, listen to the flowing water, and let the calmness wash over you—it’s the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring.
Come and experience a stay filled with warmth, nature, and a little bit of luck—right in the heart of Takayama.

Guest Reviews
The owner and the room were both perfect — the most wonderful place we stayed in Japan.
The owner was so lovely, and the house was amazing — with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, a spacious kitchen and living room, great floor heating, and even the roof was perfect.
When we left, the owner had left us a note and a gift.
It was hands down the best place we stayed during our time in Japan.
