Shukubo Kakurinbo

Far away from Shibuya, we traveled over 3 hours via public transportation to get here. We arrived at night, and it was a nice adventure with family. My family really enjoyed the stay as it was immersive. There was a lot of detail to dinner and breakfast. We only stayed for 1 night for the morning prayer, which was an experience in itself. I enjoyed the long staircase which I didn’t get the chance to run up and be sore for the whole trip. There’s a lot to do here in terms of activity, and the staff is quite impressive being fluent in English. The price was a bit much for me, but with everything considered, it was worth it as it put a smile on my family face. I was in a land that I was not familiar with, but my experience was met with welcoming arms. My father bowed his head as he left out of respect.

Amazing place to escape and be in nature. Very peaceful and the food was amazing. Would highly recommend.

The most incredible experience. There is nothing else like it. This is truly an escape from the world.

Very unique experience. I loved the country side and staff is very friendly and accommodating. On our last day, they packed onigiris and they were delicious. I still think about them to this day.

Such a beautiful location with kind and hospitable hosts! My boyfriend chose to propose to me here and it could not have been a more peaceful and serene setting. My stay at kakurinbo will be a precious memory for years to come!

This ryokan is beautiful and set in a gorgeous area of kakurinbo. It was a trek to get to on foot but it is on Mt. Minobu. A beautiful walk during the day and so much to see. The staff was so helpful with everything and the kaiseki meal is a must experience.

I just have to say that this place, though remote, is one of the best places I have stayed. It offers a beautiful scenery. The staff is very polite and attentive. The stay allowed us to experience Japanese culture at its finest.

The whole experience was beautiful and very unique. The staff are super friendly and helpful, the food is authentic and delicious, and exploring the mountains and small town around the area was a delight. Our room was wonderful and very comfortable and the Buddhist chanting and prayers around the grounds was enchanting!

Beautiful place to stay. Food amazing, service excellent. Would have loved to stay longer..next time!

Plus: - emplacement au top (à côté du temple Kuonji) - bâtiment et jardin (traditionnel, petit jardin superbe quand on mange) - système de réservation du bain qui permet d'en profiter seul pendant une demi heure - chambre traditionnelle bien équipée - personnel parle un peu anglais et toujours volontaire pour aider - les repas sont originaux Moins: - la chambre que j'avais était juste à côté des toilettes et des lavabos - petits oublis du personnel (yukata manquant/ pour le repas du soir en surcoût, je n'ai pas eu une partie du dessert. Il semble qu'ils ne servent le dessert complet que lorsque l'on reste 2 nuits, ce qui est déjà assez bizarre en soi. Étant resté deux nuits, je l'ai signalé et on m'a dit que l'on me fournirait l'ensemble au petit déjeuner, ce qui n'est pas arrivé...) - repas très légers si vous faites de la randonnée Je n'aurais pas signalé la plupart de mes remarques pour un logement moins onéreux. Mais au vu du tarif je pense qu'il faut être un peu plus exigeant.

This is our second time staying at Kakurinbo and we absolutely love it! The staff are always kind and helpful. The food is amazing. The room is comfortable and the surrounding are breathtaking. We hope to go back!

Il est de ces endroits sur notre planète qui sont de vrais joyaux. Le Kakurinbo en fait partie. Dans un lieu retiré proche du mont Fuji, vous y trouverez sérénité, chaleur humaine et spiritualité. La prière du matin au Kuon-ji demande de se lever tôt, mais pouvoir être témoin de la ferveur des locaux et du lever du soleil sur le temple est une véritable expérience.

お部屋、料理、おもてなしの心、すべてに満足しました。宿坊なのでどうかなと考えていましたが、とても良かったです。1人旅の外国の方が3名いましたが、スタッフが英語でしっかり対応されているのも驚きました。また利用したいと思います。

Great peaceful authentically Japan stay in an old temple. I highly recommend. The staff are super courteous, great with English, and the meals were amazing! Vegetarian yet very filling, flavorful, and delicious.

wonderful location nestled away in the mountain, excellent vegetarian meals, staff was hospitable and ever helpful

桜がきれいで落ち着いた宿坊です。 朝夕のおつとめ体験も良かったです。

The property is a beautiful temple ryokan with many old features still present. We did appreciate the welcome and learning about the hotel and the garden. The food was delicious and it was very relaxed having dinner in the restaurant area with separate eating areas. Wearing the wedding kimono's was a great and special experience.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Meals were beautifully served and delicious. The garden was picture perfect. The location was peaceful and quiet, in a lovely small town.

大変良くしていただきました。 みなさんにこやかでご飯も美味しく満足した宿泊でした。 ありがとうございました^_^

おもてなしの気持ちがとても居心地の良い宿でした。綺麗であったり豪華なお食事が頂けるところはたくさんあると思いますが、こんなに気持ちのこもったお宿に宿泊できて良かったです。ぜひまた伺いたいと思います。
