Japanese traditional inn in Miyazu


The inn is called Charoku Honkan. 
It is a Ryokan with Onsen(hot spring). 
The inn founded around 1716-1735 and the building is registered as a tangible cultural property of Japan. 
Better to book with dinner and breakfast because there are not many places for dinner(the owner told me that they also can serve western style breakfast, if the guests wish and when they are not busy).

Access: 
10mins walk from Miyazu station. 
If you are taking the express bus from Kyoto or Osaka, you can get off at Kisenba-minato-kan bus stop(one stop after the Miyazu station) and walk about 3mins.

You can book from booking.com or Rakuten Travel and so on.

New designed train from 13th Nov. 2015





This train is designed by Eiji Mitooka, who also designed another scenic trains running in Tango region. One of interesting thing about this train is, have a communal area(see the picture below). I wonder if there is any Japanese person who has brave enough to use this space? I hope someone is using this area :D Western style toilet available on the train. The train runs multiple times a day within Kyoto and Tango region.
