Visiting Yoshino Mountain to see sakura, we came to this temple for ascetic monks practicing Shugendo. (Saito goma ritual) This branch of Buddhism is restricted to women. This ceremony, however, was almost all women! Usually, the ascetics walk over the hot coals remaining after the fire. We left before that happened.

10/10 Exceptional! (1 review)
我が家で過ごしているように快適に過ごせました。 調味料やアメニティまで全て揃っていて、申し分なかったです。 ただ、家の前の駐車スペースが狭く（軽自動車1台しか停めることが出来ない）、また前の道路も車1台分しか通れる幅しかないのでそこが不便でした。（別の駐車スペースに移動することになりました） あと、部屋の中の暖炉周りだけが汚かった。 そこは掃除が不十分だと思います。 それと洗濯バサミも置いて欲しい。ズボンなどをハンガーで干す時に留めるためにあると便利だと思います。 部屋全体的にはとても綺麗でした。 ありがとうございました。
