Whether it's because of their cultural importance, architectural beauty or long history, temples usually feature on the to-do lists of many travelers. Kontaiji is a well-known religious attraction you can't miss.

This place of worship is often on the itineraries of visitors to Ritto. But Kontaiji isn't the only drawcard in the area. Miho Museum, Kusatsujuku Honjin, and Shiga Kenritsu Kindai Bijutsukan are some other recommended attractions nearby.

The room was spacious, had great amenities and it was an overall great experience! I would 100% stay there again. The room was overall very clean, though the floor could have been mopped a bit better, especially in the toilet room, I used some bleach wipes I had to spot clean so I didn’t call down to have them come address the issue. If you are traveling with family, especially kids, this is a great place to stay!
