Wakamatsu Honten is a charming, traditional ryokan located just steps away from Naritasan Shinshoji Temple, one of Japan’s most significant spiritual sites. If you’re looking for an authentic Japanese experience without traveling far from Narita Airport, this is the perfect spot. The rooms feature tatami mats, low tables, and comfortable futon bedding, giving you a taste of classic Japanese hospitality. Plus, many rooms offer views of the temple grounds, adding a peaceful, almost timeless atmosphere to your stay.
What really stands out here is the food — the kaiseki meals are beautifully presented and use seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. You can enjoy dishes like freshly grilled eel, a specialty of the area, along with delicate sashimi and perfectly seasoned tempura. After a day of exploring Naritasan Park or the charming Omotesando shopping street, unwind in the ryokan’s relaxing onsen.
