Everything is great! Amazing place at a beautiful historical street near the river with mountain views. Shogo and Miu are spectacular hosts and they made our stay even more pleasant and easy.

Staying at Eko-in was an exceptional and unforgettable experience. I highly recommend booking the Okunoin cemetery night tour—it was both atmospheric and deeply moving. The meals are fully vegetarian and beautifully presented. If you're not a fan of tofu, some of the dinner dishes might not be to your taste—but that, too, is part of the cultural and spiritual experience. I was initially anxious about sleeping on a traditional futon, but it turned out to be surprisingly comfortable and added to the overall sense of authenticity. A truly unique stay.

The onsen is located in remote and quiet valley right below Yoshino village (the town reachable by a 15 min steep hike up). The tranquility and peace and beatiful nature was a miracle after busy, crowded and loud Osaka. The hot spring is small, very warm and very relaxing, especially after hiking. We really enjoyed it, together with delicious traditional breakfast and dinner. Really recommend this place, especially if you need to reset after visiting Osaka. It’s really easy to get from there too, as there is a train that goes directly to Yoshino from Osaka.

KAMENOI HOTEL Tondabayashi offers a hot spring bath and free private parking, and is within 7.5 km of Subaru Hall and 13 km of Sakai Municipal Mihara Culture Hall.

A traditional onsen ryokan in a quaint mountain village. Our room was lovely and much larger than expected. The kotatsu was a great addition and we used it often. We had a room with a private bath, definitely worth the extra cost. The food was the best meal I had the entire trip, I was so full by the end I could barely get back to my room. The staff were so kind and one person even spoke excellent English. My only regret was that we didn’t stay longer
