Hotels near Chokozanshoutaiji Temple

"Beautifully furnished and decorated onsen with a lovely reception area, shop, two small bars and dedicated eating booths - we barely saw another guest. Staying in a traditional ryokan was a brilliant experience. The service was top notch and the food was amazing. It won’t suit everyone as you do get an appetiser, sashimi course, and various meat or fish courses as well as exotic vegetables - but there’s plenty, so even if you leave a couple of things you’ll be full. If you’re a fussy eater then don’t go to Japan and stay in a traditional ryokan and then moan about the food! The room is lovely with a beautiful bathroom and shower as well as terrace and onsen - 4th floor is the best and best view. The onsen was super hot and there’s also a public onsen. The one drawback is the local buses - this is up a very steep hill so you can walk to the town easily - but with cases it’s difficult. Buses only run to the station once or twice an hour so you’ll need to book a taxi - but do so in advance as they’re hard to come by. This hotel doesn’t offer its own shuttle bus."

"Excellent hotel. "

"The at thing about this hotel is location. There is an extensive breakfast and the staff are very kind and helpful. The rooms are spacious and the one we got had a Japanese authentic dinning area. The Onsen was okay, the great thing was the private option which is not as common in Japan. However, the place is quite dated and is begging for an upgrade…this is felt all through your the facility… Thank you to the staff for their kindness!"

"Great place to stay while visiting as its a 5 min walk to their shopping street and train station, and the ryokan was very spacious compared to others I stayed in. The in room meals were excellent as was the staff service. And the onsens comfortably spacious as well. The view from the balcony was so relaxing and refreshing that I spent as much time there as possible. I would definitely stay there again."

"Staffs are friendly and helpful."

"A convenient place to stay, with easy access to the train station. Amenities were great and having two showers/toilets was a bonus! The host was very responsive and easy to contact throughout our stay. One thing to be aware of is that sound travels easily between connected villas (East 101 and 102). During our five‑night stay in 102, we experienced two nights where the guests in 101 were very loud - running up and down the stairs, moving chairs, singing, cheering and stomping during a sports game, talking and laughing loudly… from around 1am until nearly 4am. The guests appeared to be a group of young local lads who spoke Japanese - they were not foreigners/tourists. They were obviously enjoying themselves and having a good time. Unfortunately, the noise and movement kept us awake those two nights/mornings. Because of this, it’s worth noting that sound insulation isn’t great. There’s not much the hosts can do about it. Your experience will depend on who your neighbours are. If you have considerate guests next door—or no one at all—you’ll likely have a peaceful stay. Additionally, the building sits beside a road with a steady stream of traffic coming down the hillside day and night. The sound of cars passing is noticeable, especially on the lower floor. This didn’t bother us but those sensitive to traffic noise may find it disruptive. Overall, it was a reasonably good stay with plenty of conveniences, as long as you’re mindful of the potential noise factors."

"It was very clean and comfortable. I was surprised to have to pay for the washing machine. That was not convenient as I had to go and get change so that I could use it."
