Frommer's Review

A member of the Japanese Inn Group, this highly recommended ryokan just east of Higashi Honganji Temple is a great choice in this category. First opened in 1885 and completely rebuilt in 2008 using architectural details from the old inn, it's owned and managed by the friendly Hayashi family, representing the sixth generation of innkeepers. All rooms are Japanese-style, with the best rooms overlooking a garden. The comfortable lobby lounge is a good place to meet fellow travelers and chat with the Hayashis, who have made this ryokan the highlight of many a voyager's trip for many decades.

Facilities:
Lobby computer w/free Internet access; coin-op washer and dryer; communal fridge
