Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 16:00 and 22:00, which may be tight for late arrivals.
  • No pets — The guesthouse does not allow pets, so plan accordingly if traveling with an animal.
  • Not the closest to major temples — Chion-in is about a 25-minute walk, so some sights require a bus or train ride.
