Kontaiji Tours

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.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (137 reviews)
The stand out about this hotel is the people. Everything with the property is excellent. But a hotel is about people. The people that care for you here are so lovely and warm that they feel more like family. You really look forward to seeing them every day and engaging them on the traditions and culture of Japan.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The hotel was in a perfect location — just a short walk to trains, buses, restaurants, bars, and plenty of shopping. It made exploring the city so easy. The facilities were modern and well-maintained, and everything we needed was right at our doorstep. A great choice for anyone wanting comfort and convenience in one place.
