Among the 30 temple lodgings in Toge, this is the closest one to the stone steps leading to Mt. Haguro, and is approximately 5 minutes away on foot from the Five-storied Pagoda. It is the perfect location for taking a stroll along the avenue of cedar trees on Mt. Haguro.
- Guests can visit Mt. Haguro throughout the year. During the winter, roads are cleared of snow, so guests can visit without worry.
- Climbing season on Mt. Gassan starts from July 1, and is open until mid-September. By taking a vehicle, it is possible to travel to the gate closure along the roads on Mt. Gassan. (Around the end of October)
- In 2019, regular buses bound for Mt. Gassan will operate between July 1 and Aug. 31, as well as Sept. 1, 7-8, 14-16, 21-23, and 28-29.
- Buses from Mt. Yudono bound for Tsuruoka are only in operation Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays during June 3 - Oct. 29.
*The closest convenience store to the temple lodging is about 10 minutes away by car.

羽黒山五重塔に一番近い宿だったので選びました。だから、夜ライトアップ時にも、再び行く気力が出ました。玄関からすぐ広間の座敷になって、神棚があるというのは、さすが宿坊！この広間が食事所にもなり、神様に見られながら食事するのです。かしこまってしまいます。でも、精進料理の味付けは良く、完食させていただきました。植物性タンパク質は、夜は十分だったのですが、朝は、みそ汁のみそと豆腐だけなのが気になりました。部屋に至る廊下はピカピカに磨きあげられ、美しく感じました。部屋も、広くて清潔なのは良かったけど、セキュリテイの面は、不十分でした。部屋の鍵がないうえに、金庫もないのですから。いくら宿坊とはいえ、不安材料ではあると思います。でも、スタッフの皆さんは親切で、とてもよかったです。お世話になりました。
