Tsukihitei

Total number of rooms: 5 | Prices start from US$

Tsukihitei is a unique experience tucked inside a UNESCO World Heritage forest. Surrounded by the towering trees of Kasugayama Primeval Forest, this traditional ryokan blends history, nature, and Japanese hospitality of course.

This boutique hotel offers just a few Japanese-style rooms, each with tatami floors, shoji screens, and futon beds. The views? Quiet, green, and endless. You’ll look out onto ancient trees rather than city streets.

What makes it even more special? The food. Tsukihitei serves seasonal, multi-course kaiseki meals, all prepared in-house. Vegetarian, gluten-free, allergy-sensitive, it’s handled with care and skill. Breakfast is another highlight: clean, fresh, and distinctly Japanese.

Service here is warm and deeply attentive. Whether it’s bringing toys for your toddler or adjusting the menu to your needs, the staff go out of their way to help. English is limited, so be patient.

Good to know: Tsukihitei sits within the sacred forest zone that has remained untouched for over 1,000 years.
