Guests appreciate the excellent location—“Only a 2-minute walk to the temple, perfect for pilgrims”—is frequently mentioned. The rooms are described as clean, quiet, and relaxing, with comments like “fluffy futons” adding to the comfort.Meals also receive high praise, particularly the fresh tai-meshi (sea bream rice) and other seafood dishes that showcase local flavors with generous portions. Some feedback notes that the inn’s structure and amenities are simple, more like a family-run guesthouse than a modern hotel, and that certain facilities like bathrooms or toilets may feel a bit dated. However, most guests say the welcoming atmosphere and peaceful environment more than make up for it, calling it “a soothing place to rest your body and mind.”
