Hattoji Villa is an excellent alternative to hotels and guest houses - a place where you can experience the real Japanese lifestyle. It's located in a beautiful setting surrounded by mountains and nature. Here you are able to stay in a traditional Japanese house with tatami floors, sliding doors and futons for sleeping. After a day out exploring the nature you can soak in a Japanese bath tub and cook dinner on traditional fireplace located inside the house.

This villa was mentioned in New York Times for a reason - the value for money is amazing.

The area's history reaches 1200 years back when it was a center of Sangaku Buddhism. The monks that lived here build an extensive complex of temples, monasteries and other buildings. Today only Hattoji and Kokenji remain and you still have a chance to experience this historical setting at Hattoji Villa.

If you're after more than just busy city life, and want to experience real Japanese hospitality, this is the place where to stay. You won't find this kind of atmosphere from anywhere else.
