    We stayed in 3 different places in the area and Ryokoji was by far the best. We had 2 bedrooms and a living room. Everything very clean and nice. We don’t eat meat and we are very picky eaters but the food they served us was amazing. So many...

At the foot of Aso is a temple of Shinshu Otani faction, with a view of Mt. Aso in front of the eyes.
The priest is baking bread from the early morning. Bomori creates a Buddhist cuisine. In the morning and evening we read the sutras in the temple. Please participate freely.
