A cozy stay with opportunity to experience buddhist culture. It helps that people understand the symbolism of the rituals. They speak some English and have pamphlets that explain the experiences you can purchase. We purchased the fire and chant ceremony and were blessed. It did not feel like there were many guests, so it was nice to enjoy the quiet baths and dinners. We hiked to the summit for about 20-30 min. Be sure to grab a hiking stick along the way. Very beautiful grounds and well maintained. We enjoyed the lit path at night. Yes, there are some bugs but surprisingly I didn't get many bites. Kaiseki meal was prepared beautifully with local ingredients of shiso, tofu, and pickled vegetables. They provide tea with your meal, so bring a water bottle to dinner, if you prefer.

This was a very nice change from the urban hotels during our travels around Japan. The proprietress is very charming and the breakfast prepared for us was very intricate with many Japanese foods. Sleeping and bathing traditional Japanese style is also something worth experiencing. To get there from Nara, take the train from Kintetsu Nara to Ikoma station where you can take the tramway up. You can just as quickly reach Ikoma station from Osaka. We visited in September and the last tram up was at 11pm. There was a restaurant open near the ryokan until 10pm (Indonesian). And if you are able to do some stairs, I highly recommend a visit in the morning to the temple complex above the ryokan. Keep following the steps above the first temples and you will find yourself on a truly magical path.

Everything i liked. Especially the view of Osaka City in the evening from the top. Also this place is surrounded by 100 and more small and larger temples. It's a great place if you are interested in knowing Japanese artisan and culinary skills. The stations are very near and one can just go to the city centre in 30 minutes.

Unique 80 year old Japanese house with fun elements for kids. The host made us a traditional dinner for a reasonable extra charge. He also took us shopping to a couple of close supermarkets for essentials.

Amazing meals, and modern facilities, comparing to other ryokans we visited during our trip. View was amazing, but location can only be accessed by car or bus
