สถานีกะกุมนจิ × ที่พักสัมผัสธรรมชาติมีคะแนนอาหารสูงโรงแรม·เรียวกัง

Luxury is woven into every corner of this hotel. It is the ultimate retreat where you can feel indulgence with all five senses. From fluffy towels you can truly feel against your skin and wonderfully comfortable bedding, to rooms filled with every comfort, everything here is designed for relaxation. There are also three private reservable natural hot-spring baths—perfect for unwinding at your own pace, warming both body and soul without worrying about anyone else. The cuisine is equally exceptional: beautifully presented, seasonal dishes made with a strong commitment to local ingredients. The in-room minibar also features carefully selected drinks, and the all-inclusive bar counter offers an impressive lineup of fine spirits. And the best background music of all is nature itself—the sounds of insects and birds as you do nothing in particular and simply relax. For those used to city life surrounded by man-made structures, the sweeping rural scenery and the gentle fragrance of seasonal flowers feel like a feast for the heart. This is how “luxury” quietly spreads through every part of you. Above all, the greatest luxury is meeting the wonderful staff. From welcome to farewell, their flawless yet heartfelt hospitality soothes you in every moment—it’s true healing. We always look forward to our conversations with everyone here. Before each stay, it has become our tradition to visit Niutsuhime Shrine—a UNESCO World Heritage Site about five minutes away by car. This time, we joined a talk held from 5:00 PM in the lobby lounge about Niutsuhime Shrine. The storyteller shared fascinating behind-the-scenes stories that only someone closely connected to the shrine could tell; before we knew it, around 30 minutes had flown by. The next day after checkout, we visited Niutsuhime Shrine again and also explored nearby historic spots we learned about during the talk. It allowed us to worship from a completely new perspective—and we discovered power spots we never would have found on our own. The traditional house café near the shrine that was recommended to us was also wonderful, making this trip even more meaningful than ever! We heard these talks will continue on an irregular basis—if one happens during your stay, we highly recommend joining. We also heard that on some days there is a guided visit starting at 7:00 AM (meeting at the lobby lounge) for worship at Niutsuhime Shrine. No matter how many seasons pass or how much time goes by, this is a place we want to return to again and again. It’s truly a blissful hotel—so full of happiness that it feels impossible to find anywhere else!

We stayed here to visit Mount Koya. The meals were delicious, and desserts and drinks were all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink. The bath water was soft, and everything was excellent.

My first stay. The large public bath was spacious, and I enjoyed the Onsen at a leisurely pace. The guest Room had high ceilings and an open-air bath; there was a Japanese-style room next to the bed, and each room had a TV, so I could truly refresh. The meals were kaiseki cuisine—sashimi, tempura, grilled fish, a small hot pot, chilled chawanmushi, and more—everything was very delicious, and I also had two large draft beers.

Enjoy unlimited views of Nankai Electric Railway trains from a guest room built inside the station building. That said, trains are less frequent than in the city, so it’s quiet. There’s nothing around the station, and it’s also separated from the other guest room, ensuring peace and silence. Perfect for getting away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Please bring your own food and drinks.

This was my first time staying at a temple Accommodation, and it was comfortable with no inconveniences. The vegan meals were also very delicious (especially the sesame tofu). The Room was warm even in winter, and the bath warmed me up well; the changing area was warm too (I would appreciate signage for international guests asking them not to bring hair or towels into the bath). The morning service was easy to join, not too long, and never boring. Being shown the Buddha’s relics left a strong impression on me and made me feel the history. It would be even better if there were an opportunity to try zazen meditation.

Three guests stayed in the loft and three on the first floor. Even though we understood the layout beforehand, it felt quite cramped. The staff were very helpful, the Onsen was extremely relaxing, and we were satisfied with both the quality and quantity of the meals. However, drinks were overwhelmingly expensive—the dinner drink bill came to 15,000 yen! This really needs improvement. I think this Accommodation is also ideal for playing in the river.
