    Welcoming staff, we even received a small souvenir. Great (and interesting!) food. The public baths and room were very clean. The room offered green tea and a small cake per person. The location was perfect. Highly recommended!

    Dinner and breakfast were exceptional. Location was convenient to meet for the Okunoin night tour (next door) and very close to the Okunoin cemetery entrance (less than 5 minutes walking). Morning service was nice as well.

    The dinner was incredibly delicate but flavourful at the same time. I highly recommend doing the Okunoin cemetery night tour!
