If you're picking between the FAV hotels in Takayama, the EAST (now called FAV LUX) wins hands down. The location is better, and they've got this killer attached restaurant plus JUNE COFFEE, which dishes out some legit pastries and coffee.

But here's the real showstopper - you can rent this ridiculous bath setup that feels like you've stepped into a luxury Vegas suite. We're talking spa, cold plunge, sauna, plus a TV and couch to lounge on. Add in the private sauna rooms that fit up to 6 people, and you've got yourself something special. Like its sister hotel, they feature cool Herarubony artwork by artists with intellectual disabilities throughout the place.
