The ryokan is in a very beautiful location, with different walking access routes to Yoshino that were magical to explore. We loved the peace and feeling of nature all around us. Our hosts were very welcoming and helpful and our meals were both a visual and culinary work of art.

We enjoyed the proximity to the station and Mount Yoshino also the cleanliness and comfort of the beds. The host was very attentive and it was great to have a washing machine and lots of cooking utensils and serving ware.

What a nice traditional home and authentic experience. The sauna and onsen are a treat. Its a short walk uphill. A small river passes by.
The owner is very considerate and helpful.

We have been visiting Japan for 3 weeks while staying at a wide variety of hotels, ryokan and airBnB, but this experience was by far the most amazing one. It is hard to describe the feeling of staying at this place filled with history, lost in the middle of the mountain. The owner was extra nice, she was the one to sit outside for 1 hour to boil the water of the bath for us to enjoy, and in the morning she offered us some very tasty juice !
Wandering in the school at night is an incredible experience, looking at the old photos of the children and the microscopes and the blackboards… The ping-pong table, huge manga library and barbecue will keep you up until late in the night ! So many things to do while enjoying the feeling of the place ! If you want to make a barbecue though, please make sure to bring you own firelighter or it might prove challenging !
The futon were confortable, and the kotetsu was so nice ! It's hard to encounter a location that have one so if you want the full Japanese experience go for it ! Cold drinks were available for a fee which was very pleasant.
We honestly wish we could have stayed more, and if we go back to Japan, we definitely will go the extra mile to come back here !
Also, promise, no ghosts ! Just a black cat roaming around x) Thanks again to the owner for everything, I hope we can meet again :)

Come during cherry blossom season, Yoshino town is famous for Mount Yoshino, a mountain full of cherry blossoms. The hike up to the summit from the trailhead takes about 2 hours, so plan accordingly. It is a relatively easy hike with asphalt roads and moderate inclination. There are also many temples and shrines along the way up.
Parking is really expensive along the hiking route, so taking a bus is probably the best option.

A great place to experience Japanese nature and calmness.
A great place to experience Japanese nature and calmness. We went there off season and were the only tourists around! The temple is a world heritage site and really magical. Everything in the village closes at 4pm which was a bit annoying sometimes but also forces you to rest and come
Down! Tip from us, definitely take the hike to the top of the mountains if the weather is nice, it’s super nice!

You need 2 nights and a full day here and you need to love mountains! On the first afternoon we walked from the ryokan down to the station and back using the cable car ropeway for the hard bit from the station. Lots of lovely shrines and templea and family run cafes. Day 2 get ready to hike up Yoshino mountain along paved road to see the remaining shrines and temples. From the ryokan it takes about 90 mins up and about 5kms. I am overweight with bad knees and i managed it so if you take it slowly you will be fine. Magnificent experience. When you get to the shrine number 11 on the local map, don’t do number 12 unless you are dead keen.my friend did that bit and he was scared at times. Narrow path. Rocky etc. I believe you can go on from the loop at the top which is about 30 mins to do another 4kms across to another temple. My advice is be happy with getting to 11, walk back down into the village and have a late lunch then go soak in your onsen!

Wonderful view across the valley. There were lots of great spaces to relax and hang out. The cabins are beautifully done in a traditional style. The kitchen was fully kitted out with everything you need to grill, bbq, hotpot or whatever you like to cook. Yoshino was a great base to explore local shrines, hiking paths, sake breweries and villages. Our host was exceptional in proving recommendations about the local area and even helped us make a booking for Uda’s amazing soba restaurant. Thank you for helping us make the most of our stay!
A wonderful temple stay with the delightful Terashima family. A calm place on a hill with views across the tree tops to Yoshino. Mrs Terashima is a brilliant cook and runs a cafe of great charm. Beautiful gluten free vegetarian meals were prepared for me. I recommend taking the opportunity to have dinner cooked by her.
You may attend morning prayers. This opportunity I recommend taking.
Sleeping with fresh air and quiet, after city crowds, I found this a restorative place and I wish I had stayed longer.

this is a very traditional Japanese hotel. located in walking distance from the UNESCO village snd sakura. a terrific onsen. quite large. The breakfasts were stunning. quite spectacular in the way they were presented. the staff were so friendly and endeavoured to help us even though we had little Japanese. highly recommended
This was a beautifully kept room in a homey guesthouse. This was my only experience at a ryokan, staying at a string of hotels in the rest of my stay, and the quiet, private and genial hospitality was a delightful change.
Excellent stay, with traditional room overlooking garden, degustation-class dinner and onsen. Steep 10 minute walk to centre of Yoshino. Easy shuttle to and from station. Staff very helpful.
