(11 people) Kominka with sauna and whirlpool bath | 1-minute walk from Yoshino/Miyataki River Exchange Center (BBQ possible)

"A scenic place loved by the people of Manyo" Miyataki is a small hamlet in Yoshino, the beautiful home of Manyō, which is a World Heritage Site and is also said to be "Japan's top cherry blossom viewing spot." Miyataki was once the site of the emperor's secondary residence, "Yoshinomiya," and is also a place steeped in history where the "Jinshin Rebellion" took place. Many poems praising the scenic beauty of Miyataki are included in the Manyoshu. This area, where the clear Yoshino River flows, is known as one of the best river play spots in the Kansai region, and it is crowded with many river play visitors during the summer vacation period. We decided to renovate a 100-year-old traditional house where my grandparents lived for many years as umbrella and lantern craftsmen in Miyataki and revive it as "Chouchin no Yado". Taking advantage of its location "right by the river where you can play", this accommodation is easy to use even for large groups such as multiple households or friends. We hope you will use it as a base for sightseeing in Yoshino, river activities, and BBQs while feeling the breath of history and nature. There is a private sauna and a water bath (tarai) in the courtyard. If you love saunas, please come and enjoy them.
