Ikkyuan is a super scenic point ✨You can see many cherry blossoms and Nakasenbon in front of you.From your room or bath ♨, you can see the beautiful big and magnificent 🌸 cherry blossom tree in front of you. It's the perfect cherry blossom viewing 🌸✨ It's a special seat ✨Even from the dining room, you can see the spectacular view of Nakasenbon. Previously, it was late enough that I could barely see the Okusenbon cherry blossoms🌸, so the cherry blossom tree in front of me was close to the cherry blossoms, but that didn't stop me from seeing the beautiful scenery.Upon arrival, you will be greeted with a warm welcome.Ikkyuan's homemade melt-in-the-mouth kuzumochi and tea🍡🍵I was called 😌 and it made me feel warm.Speaking of Yoshino, you can't go wrong with Kuzumochi✨It was a great welcome.From morning to afternoon, there was also a 700 yen Kuzumochi set menu with matcha or coffee.The 🍚 wild vegetable rice we had for dinner was so delicious that we ended up having to refill it many times.Comes with delicious persimmon leaf sushiThe first time was the duck hotpot🍲 It was soft and odorless, and even the soup stock was delicious, and the porridge at the end was enough to keep me full.The second time was the button hotpot 🍲 It was a light and delicious miso dish with no odor.Breakfast also included delicious fish.The room is well-cleaned and clean.There's no refrigerator in the roomItems to be put in the refrigerator can be left at the front desk.Please bring your own drinks (alcohol, water)😊There were towels, toothbrushes, shampoo and treatment body soap in the bathroom♨.I thought it would be helpful if there were a few more amenities, so please bring your own bath towels, disposable razors, brushes and combs, and cotton swabs.Everyone at Ikkyuan was very kind and I was able to relax and enjoy Mt. Yoshino.It's in a good location, with a lot of temples and shrines within walking distance to Kinpusenji Zaodo Hall, souvenir shops, and lots of specialty food and drinks that you can eat while walking.When the Kami-Senbon Observatory and Oku-Senbon are still in full bloom, take your private car to Oku-Senbon Kinmine Shrine and walk to Saigyo-an, where you can see the magnificent Oku-Senbon cherry blossoms.During the period from Okusenbon to KamisenbonNakasenbon and Shimosenbon too 🧑‍🦯It's an inn that's easy to walk to and the location is perfect ☺️🙆 The scenery is great ✨ and it's easy to walk around the area ✨ It was great.

I only used the meal during a cherry blossom viewing break in the morning.From the window seat, you can see the cherry blossoms right next to you, which is very beautiful.There are no terrace seats, but you can open the window a little and take photos, so I enjoyed it enough.The kudzu cutlets and matcha were also delicious.Above all, the restrooms were clean and comfortable, and the guest room I glimpsed on the way was a beautiful Japanese-style room that was closer to the cherry blossoms, so I wanted to stay there during the cherry blossom viewing season.

I stayed here for a night visit to Kinpusenji Temple. It was a homely inn, the inside was clean, and the food was very good. I would like to stay here again when I come to Yoshino.

There is no private parking lot, but there seems to be a contract with a nearby parking lot. However, since it is located in Nakasenbon, it was difficult to get to the parking lot due to traffic restrictions. The inn seems to have been renovated and is relatively clean. It's family-like, homely customer service.
