スタッフさん(お坊さん？)は、知りたかった周辺情報を予約直後に提供してくださり、当日受付の際にも丁寧且つフレンドリーに接していただき、気分良く過ごせました！ 綺麗な部屋、静寂で落ち着く環境、周りの景色、どれも申し分ないです。 仕事や勉強に集中したいときにも最適な場所ですね♪

C'est une opportunité insolite de dormir au coeur d'un monastere dans une maison traditionnelle Japonaise récemment rénovée. Le seul restaurant du village était fermé le soir de notre sejour mais nous avons pu trouver de quoi manger dans un convenience store facilement accessible à pied. Le four microonde et le frigidaire nous ont été bien utiles. La ville de Kurayoshi n'est pas loin en voiture et elle est très intéressante à visiter.

La salle de bain et les toilettes sont très propres mais à partager. Nous aurions aime trouver un peu de vaisselle pour notre repas.

This is a stay at a temple !!! (which explains why check-in is only possible until 7 PM.) When you arrive, there’s an intercom to ring, and from there, everything is very easy. The room was spacious, with a tatami floor and a super comfy futon. Everything was extremely clean! There is also a shared area with restrooms, a shower, fridge, and microwave that you can use freely — and even a spot where you can try copying sutras if you feel like it! I was alone the night I stayed, so I even left my room door open. Still, I think it would also be a lovely place for a family or a small group (there seemed to be about three rooms), as it feels like having your own little retreat. You can check out very early if you need to, and if you wake up in time (I didn’t, sadly), you can attend the 7 AM morning prayer/meditation. There is a shower, but if you're in the mood for a countryside onsen experience, there’s one just across the street! The location is about 30 minutes by bus from Kurayoshi Station, which might feel a bit far — but I personally enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of the village, and the bus ride offers beautiful scenic views.

Nothing negative comes to mind. ( little warning though : this room is a tatami room so there are no chairs and you have to seat on the floor, but, if your body allows it, it's really enjoyable !)
