    Really nothing!

    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.

    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.

    Everything was great. The toilets were nearby and rarely had anyone in them.

    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.

    The room and futon (mat bed) could be better. Cleaner and softer.

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

    A little bit too humid and could... but we are in the mountains, better conditions than in other hotels.

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

    Nothing.

    Great dinner service with lots of food. Vegetarian but was superb with alot of effort put into it. Breakfast was non-vegetarian and tasty. Service was good. As expected of a ryokan so don’t expect 5 star hotel quality but definitely comfortable and clean.

    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 weather was cool and damp but we warmed up in the lovely hot bath. We would have loved to stay longer!

    All of the meals were amazing! This was Shujin Ryori at its finest! We could not have asked for better. The tatami rooms were beautiful with lovely views of the temples and trees. The hotel is set inside the temple complex within a forest of very tall old cedars and bamboo on a mountainside. The air was fresh and clean. It was quiet and peaceful. The staff were very friendly and helpful and offered to drive us to the Adachi Museum of Art. We preferred to relax in the forest with the peace and quiet.

    Firstly, becoz it is remote, google map did not guide me to the entrance best to get to the hotel. It will be good for the hotel management to provide a map for drivers to get there. I'd self-drove there. If you have heavy or much luggage do be prepared to carry them up a flight of steps of at least 200 m from the car park The bathroom has no lock from the inside. This gives a disconcerted feeling whilst having my bath.

    The hotel is remotely located. It is really a getaway into some forested resident. I'm sure even in summer season this place will still be rather cool. The ambience surrounding is aesthetic. The food, although vegetarian, is very beautifully presented and the taste is out of anything I have tasted of vegetarian food. If I'm compelled to become vegetarian, I will have no complaints if the food is served by them. The service staff although limited in numbers were very courteous and pleasant.

    100% recommend! Wonderful historic property, nicely secluded in the hills, with beautiful traditional features and calming view of the surrounding forest and temple. The family owners were more than accommodating and so kind and friendly, going above and beyond to help us make the most of our short stay. The meals were also phenomenal and some of the best we’ve had in our 6 years in Japan! Thank you so much, we hope we can visit again!

    Not exactly “Didn’t like.” Better to say “know.” Very rustic, very isolated. WAY out in the country. You must take a taxi from the station. A 10-15 minute drive. Great silent retreat setting if that’s what you’re wanting. Minimal hiking trails. Very forested. In the mountains. Community toilet. Sink in room bor toothbrushing. No hot water in room.

    Very friendly and accommodating staff. Nice bath. Rates very reasonable. Food the first night was enough for two persons. Much better subsequently when I requested less. Gelato and coffee shop with lattes 150m from Yasugi train station.
