A gentle retreat wrapped in 130 years of wooden charm
Yanagiya Ryokan (formerly “Yanagiya: One-Building Rental & Folk Craft Shop”) is a private rental inn housed in a historical main building founded in 1885, with architecture dating back to the late Edo period. Set behind the main house is a separate two-story guest building, providing a quiet and reliable base for pilgrims on foot. Inside, you’ll find tatami rooms, a living area, kitchen, and even an adjoining folk craft gallery and light café space. The garden view invites guests into a moment of reflection, retracing the steps of their journey.
The inn is well-equipped with Wi-Fi, cooking utensils, a washing machine, and more—allowing for a practical yet gentle stay where self-catering is easy. This quiet practicality offers weary travelers both physical and emotional rest. It’s a space where tradition and modern comfort blend harmoniously, helping guests fully recharge before taking their next step forward.

I stayed here on a pilgrimage.
It seems that they renovated a one-story house that was once a cultural residence, and I stayed alone in a separate room.
The room was 6 tatami (2 tatami mats) with a toilet, washroom, and refrigerator.
The bathtub was a little big enough to stretch out your legs in, and it was a great way to recover from the fatigue of the trip.
We were told that dinner was difficult to prepare due to an event, so we bought it at a supermarket about a 3-minute walk away.
Breakfast was prepared for us.
It was very quiet and we slept well because we were away from the hotel.
The price was 6,500 yen per night including breakfast.
I stayed on a walking pilgrimage, but I was able to spend a relaxing time in a separate building rental.
The food was also delicious.
