A Quiet Japanese Retreat with a Taisho-Era Gate—A Hidden Haven for Pilgrims
Nestled quietly along the pilgrimage path connecting Yashima-dera and Yakuri-ji, Ryu-chan House warmly welcomes guests through a grand Taisho-era nagayamon gate. Inside, two traditional tatami rooms divided by fusuma sliding doors evoke a nostalgic feeling—like returning to a beloved family home. The shared kitchen is stocked with charming old dishes and lacquerware, infusing each meal with quiet charm. Though facilities are minimal, Wi‑Fi is available, and two parking spaces make the inn accessible not only for walking pilgrims but also those traveling by car. In spring, seasonal blossoms along the nearby Aibiki River whisper through the windows, gently encouraging the heart to look ahead. This inn blends gentleness and quiet strength—ideal for a restful night on your journey.
