About This Location

Kyukamura Taishakukyo is a peaceful highland resort surrounded by the forests and valleys of Taishakukyo. Guests can stay in the main hotel or rent a private cottage, making it a particularly good-value choice for families and small groups.

The five-person cottages are priced per cottage rather than per guest. As a rough guide, a cottage may cost around ¥16,000 per night on some dates, although prices vary depending on the season and accommodation plan. The cottages include a kitchen, bathroom, cooking equipment and a private outdoor barbecue area. Meals can also be booked at the main building.

One of the highlights is the restaurant buffet, which features a wide selection of dishes made with ingredients and regional specialities from Hiroshima and the Setouchi area. The resort is also far from major city lights, making it an excellent place to enjoy and photograph the night sky. Stargazing events are regularly held, and the Milky Way may be visible when weather conditions are favourable.

Visiting by car is strongly recommended, especially for travellers who want to explore Taishakukyo, roadside stations and other rural attractions along the way. The resort is about 15 minutes by car from Tojo Interchange and offers free parking. Public transportation is possible but requires careful planning: a complimentary shuttle is available from JR Tojo Station or the Tojo bus stop if reserved by the previous day.

International visitors are welcome. Foreign guests who do not have an address in Japan must present their passports at check-in, and the accommodation is required to record the passport information and retain a copy under Japanese regulations.
