This was one of those accommodation picks that you can’t believe how good your luck is! I looked at the website and the traditional look was what drew me in first but when I arrived, the whole feel of the guesthouse was tranquil beyond what I could have expected. The garden is a place of beautiful and with the sizeable range of Koi in the pond, a wonderful place to spend some time, actually every breakfast and peaceful evening. Of course the Mitaki temple is only 100m away but it allows you to feel a million miles away, the tearoom and moss garden were a particular favourite.
The rooms were comfortable, clean and had everything you needed, the powerful shower at the end of a sweaty day was a saviour. They have great facilities for your clothes, with an outside space to dry stuff. In the Center of the house there is a warm water foot bath, taken from the hot spring by the property and a great way to ease the tired feet and have a chat with fellow guests.
There are artefacts around the house that are a pleasure to see. They have beautiful light shades that have been crafted by temple carpenters and I covet greatly.
You will not find better hosts, caring and attentive, to be honest I want them to adopt me but I’m 60 and a bit of a handful, I would wish me on them!
This was one of my highlights of my Japan visit so far, I don’t want to leave! Come stay, you will be better for it!
