Best place we stayed in all of Japan. It's actually nicer than the pictures portray if you can believe it. Location is the only slight downside as you mostly will end up taking taxis everywhere other than the Heian shrine. Must comfortable beds and blankets, pillows we had as well. If you're cooking at all the kitchen is amazing. Wish I had used the meditation room but only discovered at at the end.

Tge place was fantastic, tucked away from the busy noise of the city but still very accessible by foot, bus, or taxi. The kitchen was perfect for what we needed. Its a great spot for a couple, but would be crowded with more people. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and the unplugged aspect of it made it even better.

Amazing stove is kinda hard to use the pans need to be the right weight to make the burner activate. Host gave some amazing food recommendations which more than made up for that.
