Excellent location, particularly if you’re keen to attend the sunrise service at the temple. Plenty of space in the room. Terrific meals; the food and the cheerful hospitality of the dining room & kitchen staff in particular are worth the splurge.

Wonderful location, buy the Zen Koji temple. The beds are comfortable. Many thoughtful touches such as the tea service in the room and other ryokan amenities.

Historic site of the original Zinkogi temple. Immaculate Ryokan, warm and welcoming. We would have stayed 2 nights if available, but rarely ever is.
