Many guests mention the “clean and comfortable Japanese-style rooms” and say that “all the necessary amenities are available, which gives peace of mind.” The close proximity to Enkō-ji Temple is appreciated, and the hostess’s attentive and warm hospitality is frequently praised. Visitors also note the “traditional family-style atmosphere” and say they “were able to rest quietly and enjoyed the bath.” While a few mention “the building feels old” or that “noise travels easily,” the inn is overall described as “a comforting and reliable choice with a convenient location and heartfelt service for pilgrims.”
In 2020, it was a loose corona misfortune, but I used Tsurunoya Ryokan in front of Enko-ji Temple. I think that various data are according to the manager’s data. Since it was a weekday, I had a monopoly on the old-fashioned large bath and the room on the second floor. I think that you waited until the laundry was dried. The rice was delicious, and I think it was popular with people other than pilgrims in the past. I think it is a recommended location for men who want to go to Enko-ji Temple immediately the next morning. The customer service was very family-like and warm.
It was 7,000 yen for one night and two meals.(at that time)
★★★ (3 out of 5 stars)
I had a late lunch, so I asked for a light dinner, and they accommodated. She is a kind landlady, and even the washing is done in the room to dry. The food was delicious.
Building and facilities are old, but cleaning is perfect. There are 4 rooms on the 2nd floor and a toilet on the 2nd floor. The room is divided by fusuma (fixed), and the entrance is a shoji and there is no key. I was alone on the day I stayed, and it was reserved, so I didn’t mind.
