Henjo-In Temple

Staff are very friendly and hotel is well maintained to a good standard. The bed can be quite hard if you’re not someone who prefers that style. The public bath is a lovely touch but can get crowded at busy times. A lounge on the top floor has views over the city and countryside beyond. A very good hotel in this area.

Dormy Inn is the hidden gem for foreigners looking for affordable hotel stays with luxury amenities. They have onsens, delicious local juice, coffee, ice cream, and noodle soups (time dependent) all included for guests. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful.
