This exceptional stay left us totally amazed with everything. I am surprised it was possible to find such a special place via Bookings. We had a pleasure to stay in a super beautiful and cozy private house right by the 1000 year old trample overlooking 180 year old gorgeous cherry tree from our every window. The host is the monk of the temple and each steps of the experiences was just so thoughtful and special. Very tasty vegan breakfast prepared with love and care. Even tea and complimentary sweets were of thé highest quality. Each corner of the place is crafty, extremely clean and beautiful. Also really nice and good size private bathroom! The Ine village is definitely is one of the very hidden gems of Japan! A totally stunning place with nice activities and exceptionally fresh food. We enjoyed a boat trip around the Ine bay, a small climb to the hill to watch panoramic view and very nice dinner with the view in Wadatsumi restaurant. I wish we can be back to this incredible place and stay again at the Temple one day!

What a great find this accomodation has been! After being initially slightly dissapointed we could not get a funaya accommodation, after our actual stay, all I can say is how lucky we were to have experienced the stay here instead. The room was so spaceous, and bright, with all the facilities we would have wanted. The kotatsu has been lovely! All the decoration and overall setting feels so cosy and warm. Exceptional breakfast, with many delicious choices. Lots of flavor and fresh, local ingredients. Loved the pickles and the atsuki dessert! Everything was spot on! Much more than we could have hoped. Wish we could have stayed more to enjoy the room facilities even better.

The bathroom is quite cold. May be there's no heater in there.

Room is big enough for 4 person. The vegetarian breakfast is very delicious.

First of all, the staff, he's very helpful and willingly support us even during night time since we faced electric black out and telephone also down, we emailed to facility and instantly he came to hel us! Secondly, accommodation, very tradition but in the same time, very convenient. F&B, breakfast, even it's vegetarian, but it's super yummy!

In the winter, the heater cannot cover such a big room The bathroom is outside the main room so it is quite too cold to go to toilet during the night. But the facilities in the bathroom is superb. One more thing, add the description/map to get to the room will be a great support.

Nice room and view. All the facilities are so good. Vegan Breakfast and snacks are delicious.

A bit difficult to find the place due to have no English sign

Quiet, Peaceful, Charming, Privacy The host is the monk at there, he might speak little English but he is very nice and kindness and always explain everything. The room is clean, and nice. The bathroom is look like a new one. Very clean. The mattress and blanket make us warm enough. : veggie breakfast is the best, delicious more than restaurant, feel like eat at home.

Nothing it was all fantastic.

Both Ine and staying in this wonderful place was the highlight of my trip. Everyone was extremely warm, welcoming and incredibly helpful despite language barriers! The room was immaculate and perfectly located and they made a reservation at a local restaurant ahead of my arrival which was the best meal I had in Japan. Breakfast at the property was delicious. Could not recommend this place more!

The steps up to the temple were a bit difficult for my aunt (74 years old), however for the rest of the family we had no problem walking up the stairs.

The vegetarian breakfast was very good. The presentation was great, so was the taste. The temple owner was very helpful. He showed us exactly where to park and was very attentive. He can't speak fluent English however he's willing to help with anything we need. He helped us book a restaurant, book a sight-seeing boat. The room was very clean especially the bathroom.

Nothing to 'not like'

Our host welcome was fantastic, despite a much earlier arrival than planned. The room, which is in fact a building inside the small temple complex, is huge and would host 4 peoples without feeling cramped at all. The bathroom is very big and modern. No dinner option but our host had booked for us at an excellent fish restaurant 100 meters away (Yoshimuraya), and even waited for us when we made our first stroll in Ine Funaya to propose to anticipate our reservation, as he could see we were hungry :). Breakfast brought to our room was excellent. In the morning we had a small walk in the cemetary which is also in the temple complex, climbed a little bit to have a viewpoint (just above the room) and we met a family of deers - this stay was wonderful !

Loved everything, if anything the pillows but that’s just preference of the person.

Breakfast was fantastic, homemade and very nutritious. A lot of it!
