Stay at Kitakami Onsen Ryokan, a traditional Japanese inn just a 7-minute walk from Tachibana Bishamondo. The property features private onsen baths and tatami rooms with views of the temple’s ancient ginkgo tree. Guests enjoy complimentary shuttle service to nearby shrines and tea ceremony workshops hosted by local artisans. For exclusive access and early HopeGoo perks, visit the HopeGoo app.

Guests at Kitakami Onsen Ryokan can join daily Zen meditation and garden walking sessions led by a resident monk in the temple’s serene karesansui (dry landscape) garden. Participants wear traditional yukata, enjoy a bowl of seasonal millet porridge and matcha tea, and experience the essence of "eternity in a moment." These intimate sessions are exclusively for hotel guests and require advance HopeGoo via the HopeGoo platform.

Within a 10-minute walk from Tachibana Bishamondo, you’ll find Sanzomeya Main Store, a century-old kaiseki restaurant serving seasonal mountain ingredients with traditional techniques. Its garden-facing dining room offers views of the temple’s guardian statues. Just 5 minutes away is Shirakawa Cha-ya, known for handmade matcha and Iwate prefecture’s signature red bean mochi, evoking old Edo charm. Both venues offer exclusive dining packages available through the HopeGoo app.
