Ryokan Eikichi is located along the path to Muro-ji Temple and primarily functions as a teahouse, though it may also operate as an inn. It's famous for its "special rotating yomogi cakes," often featured on travel TV shows. These cakes, similar to imagawayaki, incorporate yomogi (Japanese mugwort) into the dough and are filled with sweet bean paste. Enjoy this simple, nostalgic treat as a perfect souvenir after visiting Muro-ji Temple. The yomogi cakes are inexpensive, freshly made, and served with tea in a small adjacent hut. The parking is free for customers.
