Hirose Shrine is a sacred place where religious souls meet to pray. Take a few reflective moments yourself, or simply observe others in worship.

Hirose Shrine is an ideal place to begin exploring Kawai. This sacred place comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Allow time for other sights like Horyu-ji Temple, Yakushi-ji Temple, and Toshodai-ji Temple to really experience what the area has to offer.

This is more of a practical value stay than a standout hotel experience. The location is excellent—close to plenty of attractions and conveniences. The tatami room was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for luggage and a well-thought-out layout. However, I’d strongly recommend the hotel consider a no-kids policy for the onsen. During my last visit, the experience was unfortunately disrupted by a father and his two young sons shouting and splashing around, treating the bath more like a pool. I had just settled in but ended up leaving immediately, which was disappointing and completely broke the otherwise relaxing atmosphere.
