Special Stay

Very special place to stay. Morning prayer session is not to be missed. They have good air conditioning in the room we stayed in which was necessary due to the heat. Everything closes early in town and dinner is at 5pm.

Decent accommodations but poor food

The hotel is nice enough for the location, really enjoyed the Onsen. The location is close to center of town and attractions. We found the food to be much below expectations. We are used to vegetarian food so that wasn’t the issue, it was just very unappetizing. So don’t go here for the food but the accommodations are fine.

Staying with the monks

We had a wonderful room that included separate sleeping ( futons on floor) a sitting room and our own private toilet. We had ordered dinner which was delivered to our room. We did go to the 6:30 a.m. ceremony followed by breakfast. It was a delightful experience. The location was good and there was close parking. A great town to wander in!

Special special special

A very different experience for a foreigner, and one that I cherished as a student of Buddhism. If you aren’t adventurous, I don’t recommend it, and if you go, please be curious, open, and full of respect. The non-sleeping rooms will be very cold in winter, the food served is the food served, without changes available, there are rules about which slippers to wear where and what can be photographed, etc. If you’re interested in deep travel (versus hedonism), you will be gifted and changed. Otherwise, please don’t go.

Bella esperienza tra i monasteri e i monaci di koyasan, tipica struttura giapponese con cena e colazione della tradizione, bella l’esperienza della preghiera mattutina ma un po’ limitanti gli orari della cena e la chiusura delle docce. Stanze molto fredde, ci sarebbe piaciuto trovare la stanza calda anziché avere la stessa temperatura esterna.

Bellissima esperienza

Posto meraviglioso dove stare in pace e serenità.. cena e colazione vegetariane molto buone. Bisogna abituarsi un pochino al freddo nei corridoi che portano ai bagni e zona docce dove purtroppo non c é riscaldamento. Camere spaziose e calde Consigliato

The temple is amazing and the rooms nice. It wasn’t clear though from the site that the meditation was an extra fee (1000 ¥). The kaiseki dinner was good but there were no expiation of the food or in which order to eat it. Overall a bit overpriced in my opinion.
