I walked here from the Ikoma station, it was a great ~half hour hike with what felt like around 350-ish meters of elevation gain.
The ryokan has a nice vibe to it. The hot tub was nice too
Wonderful traditional Japanese hotel (ryokan) with hot bath downstairs. We saw so many beautiful Sakura trees on our trip but the most amazing Sakura was right outside of this hotel. Just jaw dropping! Really enjoyed our walks down the stone stairs to the small city, beautiful views and beautiful place. We even liked it more than Kyoto, so quite and authentic :) will be back!
