Such a beautiful place. It was a heavy rain when we visited there but still enjoyed a lot. It’s a shame we couldn’t stay long but will definitely come back and enjoy whole day.
I had a cooking lesson about Japanese traditional sweets, especially using “yuzu”. It was authentic and wonderful experience. After the class, we also attended the Japanese tea ceremony ”chaseki”. We could feel their nice hospitality. I’d like to visit there again.
This is a nice and quiet place with various colours of ume flowers. Good to walk and take photoes among the ume flower trees. There are many delicious food in this area.
Feeding goats is an enjoyable event. There is an entertainment, playing music traditional Japanese songs. We can learn how to make paper in the paper workshop.
This is such a beautiful place. A must-visit for anyone interested in Japanese sweets/cuisine/culture, or just to escape the crowds of the main Kyoto attractions for an afternoon.
They've got a lot in one area, but it's set up in a way that encourages you to relax and take it in slowly. Take a walk through the fruit trees, hang out with the goats, chill at the cafe/bakery or maybe do a tea ceremony. They have lots of activities like ikebana, tea ceremony, sweets-making, etc. I didn't try them all but even choosing one and spending the rest of the afternoon eating/drinking/strolling around and taking pictures is a good way to slow yourself down to a true vacation place.
There are free shuttles to and from the nearest station (15 mins on JR from Kyoto Station). The shuttle takes about 25-30mins but the scenery makes it an enjoyable ride.
Story time! 昔昔 Remembering the day when my Polish friend and I just picked a direction and cycled in Japan... and, lost & 30 minutes into the absolute middle of nowhere, saw the road to sunainosato.
"wanna go over there?" "..k"
Rode up a crazy steep hill (expecting a dollop of nothing) only to find what I can assume is a secret monastery/ reflection pond/ cherry tree farm/ traditional dessert factory/ hiking mountain/ shrine/ upscale sushi restaurant/ cultural center. aka straight out of a Ghibli film.
So we walked through absolutely serene buildings, up the mountain, round the ponds, and got redbean+mochi soup in a tatami dessert room. Superkawaii little old lady boiled it in a hanging kettle in front of us. What?? On the way out, a random pair of middle-aged women gave Mel a present of yummy desserts -- out of what I'm assuming was a spontaneous duty to represent Oishi, Shiga well. Or just unabashed Japanese kindness.
Anyway, I haven't been able to find the place since our trip years ago because, again, it's in the middle of nowhere. Like, one country road, no trains, no semblance of English, and no signs nowhere. But today, I decided to buckle down and retrace our steps in street view...aaand I found it. Seriously, to anyone who comes across this review and can read English -- do NOT skip sunainosato. It is spectacular.
