It's the most wonderful accommodation. The hostess was polite and the food was delicious and satisfying. I'm not a big drinker, but there are many types of alcohol available, including local sake and wine, so I think you can have a relaxing time here. I took my parents there and they really liked it.Since there is only one group per day, I think it's nice to be able to spend time without worrying about other people.Highly recommended when staying near Asuka Village.I would like to stay again.

It's a wonderful place. Someone has written about it, but it's so wonderful that I don't want to tell anyone about it.A gentle voice on the phone, a warm smile, delicious food, fluffy and warm futons, and an open-air bath. The hospitality of each part of the inn. A lovely garden.Everything about this hotel is wonderful and will make you want to come back to Asuka Village again.

This is a highly recommended inn where you will be welcomed by the proprietress who is originally from Asuka Village.The location, which is just a few minutes walk from the park where the Kitora Tumulus is located, will give you the most energy.Feel the sunrise, sunset, and seasonal breeze.At the inn, you can cook together, relax in the open-air bath, have a drink at the bar if you like, play with the dog, try out kimono dressing...It's a place where you can relax and do what you want to do.If I were to stay in Asuka Village, I would like to come here again.Parking space available.

This time, my husband and I came together for the purpose of cycling in Asuka Village. We had a fun night chatting with the friendly hostess. As others have commented, it was a wonderful stay. We also got to see the 45 crimson roses for the 45th anniversary of the wedding anniversary that the husband sends every year! We also wanted to share in that happiness (*^^*)

I was able to spend some quiet time in a lovely old folk house. The room, Shigaraki ware open-air bath, Asuka hotpot, Asuka cocktails, and breakfast were all great!I would like to thank the owner and his wife for their warm hospitality.

In addition to the good old folk house, the landlady's home-cooked meals, Shigaraki-yaki open-air bath, fluffy futons like marshmallows, and the tranquility of ancient times, it was an inn where you could imagine the Asuka period. I will visit again. It was an inn where I was grateful and touched by the hospitality. thank you very much.

The customer service, food, and everything else was excellent. The rooms were very quiet and relaxing. As for the food, it was my first time eating Asuka hotpot, but it was so delicious that I was addicted to it. The staff at the store were also very kind and I was impressed. I want to go again.
