Yoshino Miyataki Sauna and Water Bath in a Traditional House (11 people)

"A scenic spot loved by the people of Manyo" Miyataki is a small hamlet in Yoshino, a beautiful village in Manyo, which is a World Heritage Site and is said to be "Japan's best cherry blossom viewing spot". This Miyataki was once home to the Emperor's villa called "Yoshinomiya" and is also a historic place where the "Jinshin Rebellion" occurred. The Manyoshu contains many poems praising the scenic beauty of Miyataki. This area, where the clear Yoshino River flows, is known as one of the best river play spots in the Kansai area, and during the summer vacation period, it is crowded with many river play visitors. We decided to renovate a 100-year-old house where my grandparents lived for many years as craftsmen of umbrellas and lanterns in Miyataki, and revive it as "Chouchin no Yado". Taking advantage of the location "right by the river where you can play", it is an easy-to-use inn for large groups, such as multiple households or friends. We hope you will use it as a base for sightseeing, playing in the river, and BBQ in Yoshino while feeling the breath of history and nature. There is a private sauna and a water bath (Tarai) in the courtyard. If you like saunas, please come.
