It is named “Kinukake” literally meaning “drapped with silk”, after the historical fact that Emperor Uda commanded that he be able to see a snowy landscape even in summer, this was done by hanging white silk over the slopes of the nearby mountain. It is a tourist area that tells of the history of the imperial aristocracy from the 8th century to the 16th century.

There are also many restaurants, making it a convenient sightseeing route to explore during your stay.

Kato

The room, bath, and toilet were all very clean and my stay was very comfortable.
The accommodation was as expected. The same care was given before, especially to the cleanliness of the room and the facilities. It was a really relaxing stay. I will bring my grandchildren next time. To all the staff, thank you for always doing your best and with pride at this wonderful “Hana no Yu”.
