海蔵寺 宿坊 櫻海

Ine

Located in Ine, 16 km from Manai Shrine and 16 km from Motoise Kono Shrine, 海蔵寺 宿坊 櫻海 provides air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony and free WiFi. The property features garden and inner courtyard views, and is 17 km from Daijyouji Temple. The ryokan offers parking on-site, a hot tub and full-day security. Our host welcome was fantastic, despite a much earlier arrival than planned. The room, which is in fact a building inside the small temple complex, is huge and would host 4 peoples without feeling cramped at all. The bathroom is very big and modern. No dinner option but our host had booked for us at an excellent fish restaurant 100 meters away (Yoshimuraya), and even waited for us when we made our first stroll in Ine Funaya to propose to anticipate our reservation, as he could see we were hungry :). Breakfast brought to our room was excellent. In the morning we had a small walk in the cemetary which is also in the temple complex, climbed a little bit to have a viewpoint (just above the room) and we met a family of deers - this stay was wonderful !
