I visited Hasedera Temple to experience the Kannon Manto Festival.This hotel is classified as a guest house. There is one bath. Swap the genders. It's winter season, but I had a great experience. The food was not luxurious, but it was hearty.

I wanted to participate in the morning service at Hasedera Temple, so I stayed near the temple. I usually avoid guesthouses, so it was the first time in a while that I felt like, ``Oh, I knew it.''I was tired of having to decide when to eat and bathe depending on the accommodation. I took a bath as soon as I arrived, and it was 4:30am...I didn't use the bath at the inn, but instead went to Itaniya's Senninburo. It felt great in the hot springs, but I was asked to be back by the time I had dinner at 6pm.You can't even try to open the door or relax without knocking.The breakfast and dinner meals were delicious.Even though I was told that I could choose the evening menu, I didn't even ask and ended up with Yamato chicken sukiyaki.The 500 yen fee for the morning service was written as a service, but I was asked to pay it at the temple.Payment is by cash only. When I took out a 10,000 yen bill, he held out the 1,000 yen bill in change with one hand.At a guesthouse in a tourist area in the countryside, it seems best to eat, take a bath, and then go to sleep.

The room is clean, but there's a lot of noise...Regarding the bath, I was forcibly shown around as soon as I arrived, and it was not explained that I could only use it once.There may be a balance with other guests, but since there were almost no guests, I would have liked them to be a little more flexible or to listen to my wishes.After arriving, I wanted to take a walk around the area, and if I could only go in once, I wanted to go in after dinner.I went there with the same feeling as any other hotel, so it was just a little weird.

I stayed here for one night during the Obon holiday last year.I participated in the morning service at Hasedera Temple.It was said to be the closest inn to Hasedera Temple.The room is so Showa-era.The tension was high, butIf you have a set time to take a bath, you can take a bath only at certain times.The toilet is shared. The washroom is also shared.No soundproofing at allYou can even hear whispers from the room next door.More than that, the food was delicious.Because the amount is staggering, on the day you stay.I think it's better to have a light lunch.Everyone at the hotel is kind and does not interfere unnecessarily.So I felt comfortable using it.

I used it for lunch.The candied rainbow trout, yam somen, and warm miwa somen noodles were delicious.The wild vegetable set meal with yam and somen noodles was served not too late, and although the customer service was prompt, the atmosphere was nice and you could enjoy your meal in a relaxed manner.Also, since it was a horigotatsu, I didn't have to sit up straight, which was helpful. However, the restroom is on the second floor.

Used for lunch. The room is a simple tatami room, but the taste is exquisite.The matsutake mushroom rice and nyumen noodles were made using local Miwa somen noodles, and contained eggs, wild vegetables, kamaboko, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, and yuzu peel, and were both elegant and delicious.

Thank you for your help during my visit to Hasedera Temple. I arrived earlier than planned, but they were helpful and helpful. For dinner, you'll be served Miwa somen simmered noodles and miso-grilled amago (which were absolutely delicious!), but you can also add salt-grilled wild ayu caught by the host. Full support for morning duty at Hasedera Temple. I am satisfied with my stay at a reasonable price.Please note that the parking lot is a little difficult to find, so we recommend checking it on Street View (parking lots 2, 3, and 5 are the ones that don't have attendants).
