Located along the mountain slopes of Yoshino, Chikurin-in is a historic Buddhist temple with deep roots in Shugendo mountain worship. Today, it doubles as a distinguished temple ryokan, inviting travelers to experience serene shukubo-style hospitality steeped in heritage. Guests can wander through its exquisite Gunpoen stroll garden, renowned for its timeless design and picturesque seasonal beauty. It provides a truly enchanting escape, particularly during spring when the mountain's famous cherry blossoms come into full bloom.
