Hotels near Iwagami Shrine, Yoshino

Accommodation for sightseeing and worship at Kinpusenji Temple. It's a steep slope up to the temple, so you need strong legs. If you go by car, it will take 6 km and 10 minutes. Kinpusen-ji Temple is a temple that is good at making money and has the atmosphere of a new religion. According to research in psychical science, there are no Buddhas or spirits, so it is foolish to believe in Buddhism. The food at the inn makes good use of ingredients from Nara Prefecture. However, it seems that the sweetness has won out a little too much. If you stay there for about 10 days during the cherry blossom season, like the literary greats of the past, it might be interesting from a historical and religious perspective. I also need money.

My wife and I spent our first two nights in Japan at Yukawaya. This was our first real holiday since Covid and we couldn’t have found a better way to kick it off! The ryokan is charming in every sense. We stayed in the new rooms with a balcony and outdoor onsen bathtub overlooking a serene and green valley. The room was spacious and in traditional Japanese style but, unlike many other traditional ryokans, also had all the amenities for modern travellers. The new extension also has a public bath with outdoor onsen pool which is open to the public only for a few hours everyday and the hotel guests can use them in almost privacy the rest of the day. The family run ryokan has been around for generations but they have kept it in perfect conditions. More important than the facilities is the warm and charming hospitality by the family. Not only were they extremely helpful from the moment we arrived, explaining about the best way to take in Yoshinoyama in English, but they truly made us feel welcomed by taking very good care of us. When my wife decided to skip breakfast one morning with an upset stomach, the lady cooked the tea rice more softly than usual for me to bring back to the room for her. Last but not least is the delicious cuisine served for dinner and breakfast. All the ingredients are from local sources. And even though they were presented in very elaborate kaiseki-like manner, we felt like we were eating a fine meal at someone’s home and not any restaurant. We can’t wait to return again, hopefully to catch the famous cherry blossom!

We were absolutely delighted with the ryokan. The owner is very nice and good-natured. Everywhere is perfectly clean, the linen and yukata are snow-white and smell fresh. Two layers of tatami, super comfortable to sleep. The room is spacious, bright and cozy. The wood flooring in the onsen/wash area has been updated. Tea, treats and kaiseki are all delicious! Thanks for taking care of me!

The location was very good and it was easy to get to anywhere.

From the perspective of people from Nara Prefecture, I am surprised that there is a hotel of this level in Nara Prefecture and south of Nakawa. I want to applaud. I think it's a passing score for the hotel facilities, services, and staff, not the eyes of the locals. The lobby with the entrance is large and open, so you can relax. I am personally very happy that there is a large communal bath. I thought it was especially good for the breakfast buffet with a wide variety of Japanese and Western styles and a welcome drink at 16:00 〜 18:00. As I moved sweating in the middle of summer, I can drink not only soft drinks but also draft beer and sparkling wine as much as I want, and in addition, there are sweets and snacks. Furthermore, it is too hungry to say that anyone staying for consecutive nights is OK not only when checking in. I would like you to continue to do your best as a tourist base in Nara Prefecture.

Stayed at this hotel because there is a business from the early morning in Mt. Yoshino the next day. The lobby is on the 9th floor and the rooms are a bit irregular with the 5-9 floor. The room is very clean and clean. The window of the room is large * and there is no high building around, so the view is very good. The bath on the 10th floor can be said to be the same. The view on the east side is the best. Is it difficult to enter because there is no roof in the open-air bath in rainy weather? Breakfast is very rich in variety. There is a large hammer * window on the west side and you can eat while eating a good view. If there is no adjustment, it is not necessary by the front desk. It is a very easy to use hotel for traveling in southern Nara Prefecture. Be careful because there are many taverns around, but there is no supermarket open at night.

一人旅で利用しました。 他の方の口コミにあるように、スタッフさんが本当に丁寧で心地よい対応をしてくれました。とても有り難かったです。 個室の広さは、寝るだけでしたら充分。寝具も清潔でした。ただ、全て木材で出来ているので繊細な素材のものは直接置かないほうが良いかもしれません。 洗面所やシャワー室はとても清潔で使いやすかったです。 天理(や奈良)に行った際、再度利用させていただきたいと考えてます。ありがとうございました。

Although it was only available for a limited time, I was very happy to receive beer and ice cream after getting out of the hot springs. When I went to the breakfast buffet around 8am, some items were out of stock due to bad timing, but the tempura was fried right in front of me, so it was freshly fried and delicious.

I was satisfied with the food, ingredients and taste supervised by Kandagawa. The staff were well educated and I was able to spend a comfortable time including the usability and tranquility of the room. However, the special mention is the evening talk show and the next day's ２ time guided tour. Ｎ Mr.'s talk was laughter, drawn based on his abundant knowledge, and it was ２ time in no time. At first, I thought this inn would be a １ visit only once, but I wanted to visit again if I had the opportunity and take a tour.

The room was clean and comfortable. Since it is near the station, the number of parking lots is small and on a first-come, first-served basis (charged) car is recommended to check in early. However, there is a coin parking within walking distance. The free breakfast was always crowded during the time, but I think it's okay if you have time to spare. I had a good trip.
