The host was very nice and cheerful. I love my room -very comfy, serene, and has a great view overlooking the city. It has a solo hot bath. I love the Japanese-style breakfast. It was very delicious, healthy, beautifully presented.

I like it’s a small traditional Japanese family style hotel located in the middle of the mountain that’s still close to the town Ikoma by driving. The clear city view from the tea room is spectacular: we enjoyed the sight of the town with the high elevation and mountain range close by. The warm city lights at night and neighboring beautiful cherry blossoms and magnolia blended in the background of green hills under daylight are memorable. The host is also very accommodating: she speaks English and understands us well without too much trouble. On top of making arrangements for tea ceremony and kimono fitting (of course with additional charge), she can provide very good traditional Japanese breakfast. We didn’t try dinner there but I am sure it would be good. It’s about an hour drive away from Nara, Osaka, Tokyo, and other major cities in Kansai. Would highly recommend to people who want to experience what want to explore the city at daytime but want to experience a different vibe to stay outside of the city area at night.

This was our first experience of a ryotan and it was exceptional in every way. The reception staff was extremely welcoming and spent considerable time in helping us plan the train and bus transfers for the next leg of our travel. Our best stay in Japan!

Experience culture authentically with a stay at these traditional Japanese-style accommodations. Sleep on the floor (on a futon roll) in a room furnished with tatami flooring and sliding doors. Guests can often expect access to a communal bath, plus a complimentary Japanese garment called a yukata.
This was a magical and wonderful experience that will stay in our hearts for ever.
The temple location in the mountain was very quiet, futons were really confortable, both meals were delicious and delicate and we could attend two different prayers early in the morning and experience mediation time with a monk. The temple grounds are nice to walk around in the evening.
Thank you.
It was an exceptional experience. The reception was super warm and friendly, from the moment we arrived they offered us tea. The temples are impressive and the landscapes will take your breath away. The lodging building was impeccably clean and organized, the rooms were gigantic, and the treatment of the staff and both the dinner and breakfasts were exemplary experiences. The onsen (the traditional baths) was the highlight of the experience.
But attending the ceremonies, especially the fire ritual is a unique experience not to be missed.
Staying here was such a brilliant, unique experience and hands down one of our favourite moments from travelling in Japan. The food was amazing and getting to walk around the temple grounds at night, when they were virtually empty, felt like a real treat. The fire ceremony was beautiful to watch and the onsen facilities were great too - a really nice size for the amount of guests and open for long hours in the evening.
