The reception was friendly and made us feel wecome from the very beginning. We were offered a welcome tea and local sweets. Our room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was mostly Japanese (while travelling, I like to eat local food even if it is rather unfamiliar). Luck Ypu Kyoto is situated very close to bus stops and relatively close to a railway station We appreciate the possibility to visit the adjacent sento. Moreover, it was much appreciated to leave our bags before check-in. Would visit again any day.

海蔵寺 宿坊 櫻海

Ine

Located in Ine, 16 km from Manai Shrine and 16 km from Motoise Kono Shrine, 海蔵寺 宿坊 櫻海 provides air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony and free WiFi. The property features garden and inner courtyard views, and is 17 km from Daijyouji Temple. The ryokan offers parking on-site, a hot tub and full-day security. What a great find this accomodation has been! After being initially slightly dissapointed we could not get a funaya accommodation, after our actual stay, all I can say is how lucky we were to have experienced the stay here instead. The room was so spaceous, and bright, with all the facilities we would have wanted. The kotatsu has been lovely! All the decoration and overall setting feels so cosy and warm. Exceptional breakfast, with many delicious choices. Lots of flavor and fresh, local ingredients. Loved the pickles and the atsuki dessert! Everything was spot on! Much more than we could have hoped. Wish we could have stayed more to enjoy the room facilities even better.
