Silence, morning prayers, they took us from and to the train station with their car. Beautiful place in the woods

Every family member at the temple is warm, friendly and full of smiles. The male boss who picked us up and gave us explanations was very kind. The two young girls serving in the restaurant were attentive and lovely. The chef is very good and willing to prepare vegetarian food for me. Thank you for your reception.

Nothing

Beautiful setting at an authentic Buddhist temple, felt very privileged to have been there and taken part in the morning prayers

Nothing.

The property was beautiful and the people and animals were so friendly and kind. The food was amazing and healthy yet at a really good price.

The pillow was like a bean bag and not good for my neck

Staff are friendly, they don’t speak English tho, food is amazing! I loved prayers in the morning, gorgeous Mountain Views & the cafe is so cute.

Steep uphill track from the train station, but if you let the host know in advance they will kindly collect you in their car!

Beautiful location with view of the mountains. Great hospitality with a very kind family. Clean, traditional Japanese room.

The new year special breakfast. It was probably a perfect new year special breakfast, but it wasn't to our taste. There were no kitchen facilities.

The staff were amazing.

nothing, loved my stay!

Breakfast was great and location in the beautiful mountains was really nice- easy access to yoshino area. Hosts were lovely and very accommodating, they helped me rent a bike which was a great way to see the lake and surroundings. The room was also perfectly set up and it felt quite authentic. The cultural experiences you can participate in were one of the highlights of my stay here!

I loved that the hosts treated you like family, and invited you for excellent meals and temple prayers. You get to experience being a part of their community. The place was extremely cozy, very clean and comfortable. It’s a great value for its affordable price. The location is accessible too, as it’s a short 10-min walk to the train station, yet private enough to not have any disturbances as it’s atop a hill.

Staff was very helpful and friendly. Gave us a ride to and from the station.

Unfortunately the mountain top is shared with telecom antennae

It is a buddhist temple indeed, the priest and his family are the hosts. The (modern) temple is a separate building. Beautiful view over the landscape. Access is not easy but the host proposes to come and fetch you at the station. Dinner and breakfast are superb and worth it. There is a language barrier, it's probably more tailored for national tourists during cherry season. A gem.

The temple path is very steep. Check with the host and they can help you make other arrival arrangements.

A wonderful temple stay with the delightful Terashima family. A calm place on a hill with views across the tree tops to Yoshino. Mrs Terashima is a brilliant cook and runs a cafe of great charm. Beautiful gluten free vegetarian meals were prepared for me. I recommend taking the opportunity to have dinner cooked by her. You may attend morning prayers. This opportunity I recommend taking. Sleeping with fresh air and quiet, after city crowds, I found this a restorative place and I wish I had stayed longer. .

Our stay at the Houtouji temple was one of the highlights of our trip! The loving family made our stay very special. They went out of their way to pick us up from the train station, prepared delicious (vegetarian!) dinner and breakfast, and taught us more about buddhism. We could even attend the afternoon (16:00) and morning (6.00) ceremonies. There is a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains and they have several animals (donkey, goats, cat) making it a lovely stay. We want to thank you very much for our stay and would highly recommend to anyone planning to go to Yoshino!

Not a real negative, as the owners are very helpful to provide transportation, but the accommodation is located rather isolated. On foot it is reachable via a 20-minutes steep uphill walk through a bamboo forrest directly from Yamato-Kamiichi-Station (which is not shown by googlemaps!).

This is a calm and happy place filled with great hospitality and spirituality. You are invited, but not obliged, to attend the buddhist morning prayer in the adjacent temple.

None.

Booked two nights at this temple lodging or Shukubo just outside the Sakura season, serenity and shades of green is the reward you get. Lady of the house, Yoshiko and her daughter cooked super delicious meals for me. Chief priest, Hozui and his son conducted morning ceremony that was very soothing and divine. Booked a taxi driver for 5 hours to visit other temples at Yoshino. Took tons of photos and got to know Yoshino a lot better, not just for Sakura. Requested a Goshuin or temple stamp and Hozui san has personally calligraphed it which was beautiful. The toilet was really clean and it is just next door to my room. Bathroom is downstairs with the dressing table beside it. There was another toilet at ground floor too.

Beautifully scenery, very kind family, delicious food!

The location was superb, with the room carrying a lovely aesthetic and comfort. The offered breakfast was delicious and the facilities are all neat and clean. The owners were very accomodating and kind. It would be a property I would visit again for a longer period of time. The area surrounding also contains a serene environment to explore with its mountain range located past Yoshino and town by the train station.

Just to mention: it's a narrow and somewhat steep foot path leading from the station to the Guest House crossing a jungle like bamboo grove (no problem for people with hiking experience). For those not able to take this way hosts will arrange to pick you up by car. From Kamiichi station it's 400m to a Lawson combini and mayb 700m to a super market.

One of the nicest Guest Houses I've stayed in while in Japan. The guest house is run by a lovely Japanese couple. Rooms are basic but super clean, traditional style with Tatamis, spacious, and there's a vintage style secretary desk in every room. Shared bathroom and toilet also spotlessly clean. They serve dinner and breakfast if you order ahead, food is really delicious and prepared with love right away for you. I think it's really better to stay here than in uphill Yoshino (which can easily be reached by train in 10 minutes). Owners speak only few words in English but don't worry: they will understand all your needs.

The place was 2 hours away from Nara and the Climb to the temple from the station was hard as I had a lot of luggage. Thankfully the owner took me by car to the station at the end of my stay which made it a lot easier

It was a little hard to find because my maps told me to walk the path that you reach by car but then the staff messaged me what I needed to do,which I would recommend asking them before coming to make it easier. The room was spacious and clean. The shower was nice. Will come back again if I visit Yoshino. The place though is about 2 hours from Nara by train.

It is located in front of two big 5G towers and a few stations away from Yoshino Station . If you are a vegan or vegetarian, this might not be convenient too though it’s a temple. There is no customization of meals. There were three people in this trip. So if you are traveling with friends with different dietary needs, stay here might be challenging and might incur extra charges on top of ¥3850 for one Japanese dinner set. If one takes egg and the other doesn’t, there is no room for flexibility of meal arrangements. It is either all have to take the same meal or otherwise. Bonito/ seafood sauce was used in the noodles dip. As the main person who booked this trip and have allergy to seafood, it was tough for me. Traditional Shojin Ryori in my experience is vegan and plant-based for sure. We stayed only for a night at Hotouji and decided to waste the second night as it was really not the most ideal accommodation.

The environment is quiet and surrounded by bamboos and a graveyard filled with lushes of greens. Toilet was clean on second floor with a shower room on the first floor. There is also a pick up service from station.

This was a wonderful hotel experience. The staff were so nice and helped me with everything. They cooked delicious food and they even cooked dinner for me when I came back late. They greeted me with a smile every time I saw them. Their hospitality warmed my heart and I will remember this stay forever! I will definitely be back!
