Yoshino District Hotels with Bars

A small Japanese-style hotel hidden in the mountains of Nara Prefecture, no matter where you come from, you can find the same feeling of home here. It can be comparable to the kaiseki cuisine of Michelin restaurants, so that you can taste the Japanese food that is completely different from the previous impression. After the cooking director carefully developed and according to the season, The food made by the guests' tastes is amazing! 👍👍👍 The hotel also has translations for guests from different countries, and the translation and communication levels are professional! Guests can also visit the crafts workshops in the villages around the hotel. Every craftsman and their craftsman spirit is awesome! The village is surrounded by a large area of original fir trees. If you have the strength, you can also go close to nature, explore the monasteries and waterfalls. In short, I am very happy to stay, I hope that in different seasons we can go to the field Neold Hotel to have a different style! .

Beautiful location along the Kumano Koda trail. Excellent food and beautiful onsen on site. It is isolated (which is part of the charm) so be prepared to walk to town or take the bus if you want go to a market or lunch spot.

I did a one night stay and 2 nights before I go, I called the owner to request him to add breakfast and dinner to my booking. He mentioned that he could fix something simple if I didn't mind as his wife would be busy. He offered to pick me up from Shimoichiguchi station when he knew I was going by train. After picking me up, he brought me to a famous temple on the way. It was not somewhere I could visit without driving so I was appreciative. He explained that the house was left behind by his mother and he decided to convert it to a guesthouse last year. There is a famous shrine with a Noh stage within 10 mins walk from the guesthouse and I went there twice as there was a procession at 8am the next morning. There is also Amano river where waters are clear and fishermen can be seen occasionally. Dinner will eventually still prepared by the owner's wife. Food was fresh and delicious. I had beef stew with whole grain rice and several side dishes from the town. As the nearby onsen was closed until June, I decided to visit Dorogawa onsen during checkout. The owner offered to drive me there at no charges. The guesthouse was tastefully converted from a 2 century old house with a nice fusion of new and old. Guests could use the living area with stove heating, bar counter, bathroom and toilets. There are only 2 bedrooms so chances are, you can get some peaceful relaxation. The owner speaks limited English but he uses an electronic pocket tool to help him communicate with overseas guest. His room rates are very very reasonable and he and his wife are both very kind and friendly. They really go all out to make your stay pleasant so give the guesthouse a try. The owner heard I wanted to see stars though I told him I did not expect to since the weather forecast was cloudy. He checked the skies at 9pm and told me that some stars could be seen and took me to a dark stargazing spot nearby. I was happy as I managed to take some decent photos.
