“Best Ryokan stay and food yet in my 5 trips to Japan.”

So much to rate this property. Firstly, wonderful staff, especially Yoko-san during my stay. Next THE BEST kaiseki-ryori meals I have ever yet had in Japan. Amazing food, beautifully presented. Thank you SO MUCH! Amazing breakfast too. The room (rooms!) and gorgeous long balcony were just such a relaxing space and then, basically ‘private’ access to the stunning temple in the morning.

“Peaceful retreat in nature”

Such a peaceful lovely place

“The best stay in Japan”

The best stay we had in Japan! The inn is located in a quiet forrest near a beautiful temple. The hosts are examples of japanese hospitality. They gave us a ride from and to Yasugi station. Both dinner and breakfast were absolutely delicious and everything was very clean. Wonderful place if you want to wind down and relax. We are very grateful for this stay and wish we could've stayed longer. Highly recommend!

“Exceptional. A classic ryokan in a stunning location”

The food was exceptional - very fresh, local, beautifully prepared and presented, a new menu every day. The location is superb, particularly with the autumn foliage. This is a classic ryokan in a temple complex in the hills. Surrounded by vegetation. Just very beautiful. And the staff were so friendly and helpful.

The staff were lovely and helped with everything, including picking us up from the station and taking us to Adachi Museum. We had breakfast and dinner, and the food was exquisite. The location was wonderful and serene. In all, it's a truely special place.

It's a traditional Japanese ryokan in a temple. Nice staff and we really enjoyed the stay.

“Lovely location , excellent hosts”

Beautiful location in the forest. Quiet , room was big & had a lovely internal balcony at tree level. We had a couple of the meal options, the food was beautiful, though there was too much for us. The staff at the ryokan were so lovely- friendly, welcoming & happy to take us to the various places we wanted to see.

“Absolutely amazing experience!”

This was a once-in-a-Lifetime experience! I could not rate them any higher if I tried. The host picked me up from the small railway station. At no charge. He helped me carry my heavy suitcase. Don’t bring one there if you can help it. He took me to this most beautiful location right next to a Buddhist-monastery. In the middle of the woods, going through small, adventurous roads. I was greeted with a matcha 🍵 and a sweet. A can of tea was given to me. My room had a big window to the woods. I went to view the surroundings and I was honestly stunned. His wife asked me if I wanted a bath and at what time I wished to eat. The food served in a separate private room by the family ( grandma and wife) was out of this world. So much love put into that. So much effort. And it never ended, the arrival of even more little pots and pans. I then slept in the perfectly clean little bed on the floor. Rainy night, so cozy. Breakfast was served and just as perfect as the evening before. The host took me back to the train. I left my bag at the station to see the Adachi- museum of art. All in all, if you are after the real Japanese experience- go here! I took the train here for 6 hours, and I would always do this again. I just wish they put their prices up. They are so much worth this- and more.

“Privileged stay”

It felt privileged to stay at this temple lodging. Being located amidst the the temple buildings it was very atmospheric and serene. The staff were super friendly (even with limited English we still communicated well). They helped me make a last minute zen meditation session booking for which I was very grateful. Food was delicious. Shuttle service from the train station was necessary without own transport. They also offered a shuttle to a local famous art museum and garden.

“Delicious food and a traditional Japanese inn”

You can eat the most delicious food in the world. Dinner is shojin ryori (Buddhist cuisine). The innkeeper, a woman innkeeper and the senior woman innkeeper are all very kind. The building and furniture are also very rustic and beautiful, allowing you to experience the atmosphere of a Japanese building from the good old days.

In the middle of the woods. Very calm. I would recommend to calculate at least one hour to walk around the beautiful temple/ shrine area next to it.

“Very pleasant stay in a gorgeous and amazing setting”

Very very nice typical Japanese ryokan remotely located next to a temple : amazing setting! The dinners and breakfasts were outstanding. The first dinner was fully veggie (pilgrim requirement perhaps) and delicious, then they asked us if we eat fish and meat, then had also fish and meat dishes. The ryokan-keepers were so kind and helpful to help us locate the place. Because, it is very remote and GPS coordinates not that accurate.

“We lived like queens”

Heavenly meals. Very kind staff. Gorgeous view. The location is hidden between the mountains next to a beautiful temple. Since it is not accessible by public transportation, they offer services to and from the station. They also drove us to the Adachi Museum.

“Highly recommend”

This is a traditional ryokan which has great food and really lovely staff. We were so well taken care of. Dinner and breakfast were delicious and varied on each of the 3 days that we stayed. Our room was spacious and had a delightful sitting area. The location within the temple grounds was beautiful. We were picked up and dropped back at Yasugi train station, as well as the Adachi museum. Highly recommended.

“Typical Japanese small family guesthouse”

Typical Japanese small family guesthouse. The location is incredible, in the middle of an ancient cedar forest and a few steps from a very beautiful temple. The room is large and comfortable. Upon arrival there will be a staircase to climb, which is the same that leads to the temple, the walk is really very beautiful even at night but it must be considered according to the luggage. The experience worths the stair

The meals(dinner, breakfast) are absolulely delicious and healthy. Staffs are very kind.

“Away from civilisation”

Rare experience to stay in a inn within a temple. No sound but wind.

“Great people igger to please the customers. Food delicios bath fabulouse. I'll be back.”

Some extraordinary people. They tried their best to fulfill all the situations. They prepare some fantastic traditional dishes.

　Many kinds of shoujinryori were serviced ! They were very delicious! And staff is heartfwarming. I am very satisfied!

This is a traditional ryokan in an amazing setting. The facilities are very basic, but the food was truly exceptional, awesome variety, always left us satisfied, full and happy.
