"Great authentic experience in a Buddhist monastery, including sleeping on the floor in a traditional Japanese tatami roo"

9.0

The traditional Japanese rooms. The ambiance. The morning ceremony with the monks.

I was not aware of the curfew when I was standing in front of shut gates at kl.2230. Luckily, a random monk not associated with the monetary helped me back in. The curfew could have been communicated more clearly at check in.

"Excellent"

8.0

La struttura è veramente spartana in tutti i suoi spazi (eccetto i giardini) ma pulita e con spazi funzionali. Le ragazze che ci hanno accolto sono state gentilissime. Ci hanno tenuto i bagagli prima e dopo il check-in. La struttura è uno shukubo e ha delle regole che possono non piacere ma sono chiare anche quando si prenota. C'è una piccola area in stile onsen dove potersi lavare dalle h 16:00 alle 22:00. Alle h 21:00 scatta il coprifuoco del tempio.

Nonostante di giorno fosse caldo la mattina presto abbiamo patito un po' il freddo nelle aree comuni. L'acqua dei rubinetti è sempre abbastanza fredda. Non c'è possibilità di fare colazione o cena. La preghiera del mattino è stata recitata da un monaco ma non è seguita o anticipata da nessuna spiegazione, l'esperienza non è per tutti. Sarebbe stato bello avere un minimo di contesto.

We are absolutely delighted with our stay! We spent 2 days at Zofukuin. We were welcomed by friendly young women who explained everything to us. There is a service at 6:30 AM. The onsen is open from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM. The room was large, spacious, and had a beautiful view of the garden. ​Food isn't provided, but there is a restaurant nearby called Ponpoko where you can enjoy excellent dishes in the company of locals. There is also a Family Mart close by. All the staff were incredibly welcoming. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience!
