The property is very beautiful and the check-in and check-out process had been very smooth. We chose this place specifically because it provides proper beds (two twin beds in the annex). Most Japanese hotels including the fancy ones only provide floor sleeping arrangement and the availability of beds really helped our parents who find sleeping on the floor uncomfortable. The beds turned out to be wonderful for them and the room is very quiet at night so everyone was able to get quality sleep.
Located in Yoshino, 3.7 mi from Kinpusen-ji Temple and 8.7 mi from Mount Yoshino, Houtouji Temple provides accommodations with free WiFi, air conditioning and access to a garden with a terrace.

Nice little almost-shukubō near Yoshino. The monk who runs this place was super friendly and very helpful. The temple is surprisingly hard to get to from the station, but the monk came and picked us up.

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...
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!
It was a little hard to find because my maps told me to walk the path that you reach by car but then the staff messaged me what I needed to do,which I would recommend asking them before coming to make it easier. The room was spacious and clean. The shower was nice. Will come back again if I visit Yoshino. The place though is about 2 hours from Nara by train.
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.
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.
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.
