20 Ryokan in Japan

The Eiheiji Zen Inn Hakujukan utilizes 'Eiheiji Cedar' sourced from the grounds of the 'Eiheiji Temple,' featuring 18 Japanese-Western style rooms, separate large communal baths for men and women, and a restaurant offering Shojin Ryori (traditional Buddhist vegetarian cuisine) supervised by the temple. Positioned as 'a facility between a traditional inn and a temple lodging,' it is an accommodation where guests can experience the spirit of Zen through activities such as zazen meditation.

Deep in the mountains, there stands a single secluded inn called 'Tenkawa Sansou.'In this expansive lodging of approximately 6,000 tsubo, only seven groups of guests visit per day.Enjoy quality hot springs, carefully selected seasonal delicacies, and cherished moments with loved ones, all while leisurely relaxing in the serene forests of Aso, far removed from the mundane world.

All three private baths are natural hot springs with free-flowing water directly from the source, without any added water, heating, or circulation.Please also enjoy the cuisine made with seasonal ingredients.
