Guest Reviews

• Kerstin (9/5): Sehr erholsam und überaus interessant - Der Tempel wurde im Auftrage von Lady Hojo Masako errichtet. Ihr Anliegen war es für ihren Ehemann 1. Seii Taishogun MINAMOTO Yoritomo (von Kamakura) und Sohn Sanetomo eine Stätte zu schaffen, in der der beide Toten gedacht werden konnte. Dieser Tempel gehört zum Weltkulturerbe. Er verfügt über einen unglaublich schönen Tempelgarten mit zahlreichen Rododendrenbüschen sowie 30 m hohen Zedern. Auf dem Gartengelände steht eine 14,9 m hohe Schatz- Pagode. Es ist noch der Originalbau. Heute gehört der Tempelkomplex dem ASHIKAGA shi (clan). Der morgendliche Tempel- Service beginnt um 6.30 Uhr. Es herrscht eine sehr angenehme Atmosphäre. Da der Tempelbau unmittelbar in Waldnähe befindlich ist, ist es überaus ruhig. Im Mai kann man die Nachtigall singen hören. Das Essen ist typisch buddhistisch, rein vegan, aber überaus schmackhaft und abwechslungsreich. Aufgrund unseres Alters war es für uns schwieg, in Seiza auf den Tatami zu sitzen. Die Mönche haben dann extra für uns zwei Stühle in den Raum gestellt und aus mehreren Essentabletts zwei Tische gebaut. Wir waren diesbezüglich sehr dankbar. Im Büro konnten wir Taxen bis nach Iga Ueno bestellen, so war gesichert, dass mein gehbehinderter Ehemann nicht die ganzen Treppen bei der Bahn ersteigen musste. Man war uns in jeder Hinsicht behilflich. Enlisch sprach niemand, aber mit Hilfe von Übersetzungsapps konnten auch komplizierte Angelegenheiten bewältigt werden. Die Onsen sind sehr klein. Die langen Öffnundszeiten 15 - 2 Uhr und 5 - 10 Uhr garantieren jedoch, dass man fast immer die Möglichkeit hat, das Bad allein zu genießen. Die Anlage ist sehr ruhig und der Aufenthalt war sehr erholsam. Bis zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten sind es nur 10 - 20 Min. Fußweg. Da wir schon im fortgeschrittenen Alter sind, war das Schlafen auf den Tatami mit einem Futon eine Herausforderung wieder nach oben zu kommen. Die Tagestemperaturen beliefen sich auf durchschnittlich 20 - 23 °C. Nachts wurde es jedoch sehr kühl. Eines morgens lag sogar eine haudünne Schneeschicht auf den Dächern. Dies sollte man bei einem Aufenthalt auf dem in 900m befindlichen Koyasan auf jeden Fall einberechnen. Die Zimmer haben allerdings auch Klimaanlage.
• Susana (9/5): Very good to have a temple experience and feel the peace! - The experience of sleeping in a temple. The food could be better
• Hanne (8/5): - Deze prachtige tempel is heerlijk om tot rust te komen. Ik heb echt genoten van de sereniteit en de stilte. De monniken zijn vriendelijk in hun ontvangst en de kamers zijn proper en netjes. De gedeelde badkamer (onsen) was ook allemaal heel proper. Ik kan ook zeker aanraden om de morning prayers mee te volgen, dat was een interessante ervaring. Uiteraard blijft het een tempel en is alles zeer basic, maar dat hoort er juist bij en stoorde ons (en onze 4-jarige dochter) absoluut niet. Het ontbijt was minder onze smaak, maar het diner was wel echt super. Ik heb texturen en smaken gegeten die ik nog nooit had gegeten.
• Reyes (7/5): - La ubicación y el entorno. La comida
• 石原 (8/5): 世界遺産 - お風呂、トイレともに綺麗でゆったりしていました。
• 煜恒 (8/5): -
• SUGARWILD (9/5): -
• Flavio (9/5): - L'atmosfera, unica! camera spaziosa e pulita. Ho trovato sia il futon che il cuscino eccellenti, comodi e caldi. Peccato per gli orari per l'uso del bagno comune: solo la sera.
• Sergio (2/5): Muy mala experiencia. - La ubicación. - que en la cena no hubo nadie para explicar como comer las cosas ni para encender una vela para calentar la comida, tuve que buscar a alguien por la estancia en mitad de la cena para poder calentarlo. - que sea un timo que te digan que duermes en el templo pero realmente duermes fuera de él en un edificio en frente de él a parte. - la habitación tenía una almohada enana rellena de algún cereal. Dura e incómoda. - la calidad precio. Es cariiiiiisimo. - que en la ceremonia todo se hable en Japonés (más de 30 min) y no haya ningún tipo de traducción y hoja en otro idioma que te explique algo. Una verdadera decepción.
• Sidonie (10/5): -
• Janette (7/5): A one off experience - Morning ceremony No guided tour Dinner was a Buddhist meal but no explanation of what we were eating. I thought something was dessert and it was savoury. I was cold at night but had a spare duvet to use lights on in the corridor all night. A night light would be enough. Breakfast was again typical but a lot of people clearly didn’t enjoy it and left it so it was a waste of food.
• Coral (9/5): - Bellísimo tempo con la posibilidad de alojarse con en un complejo al lado a media pensión, donde comimos comida budista. Se siente una gran serenidad allí. Teníamos WC propio y el baño era en Onsen separados por generos. Por la mañana, se puede asistir a un rezo. No nos explicaron nada sobre el templo y las costumbres de los monjes. Durante el rezo de la mañana no entendimos que se hacía.. e incluso nos invitaron a participar! Pero no entendimos nada :( Los futones no son muy cómodos pero eso hace la experiencia más inmersiva.
• Patrick (6/5): Zu teuer für die Leistungen und den heruntergekommenen Tempel - Abendessen und Frühstück war sehr dürftig und vor allem das Frühstück hat uns sechs überhaupt nicht mehr überzeugt und wurde größtenteils nicht gegessen. Sehr teuer, für das was geboten wird. Die Tempelanlage selbst ist ziemlich verkommen.
• HITOSHI (7/5): 世界遺産の寺の宿坊というユニークな体験 - 世界遺産のお寺を案内していただけた事 115号室の泊まりましたが、浴衣が破れていた。
• Chantal (5/5): Je betaald voor de locatie - Locatie, de kamer was prima en netjes. Het meemaken van de ochtend ceremonie is interessant. (Mogelijk wat uitleg op een blaadje in het Engels zou fijn zijn) Vond het erg duur voor wat je er voor krijgt. Eten was niet zo geweldig, ik had veel beter verwacht (op andere plekken en shukubo’s veel beter en die waren veeeeeel goedkoper)
• 松尾(Matsuo) (9/5): - 足が少し悪いので椅子をセットしてくださいましたか、後で分かった事ですが食事の時に飲み物がオーダー出来ると思わず皆さん静かな食事でした。
• Maria Cristina (4/5): Not a nice place. - The lady that shows us the facilities was very kind. The facilities are in bad condition, one chair was dangerous to be used, the public bath was very restricted, the check out time is very early (from 8 to 9 am) and the food was very disappointing.
• christoph (7/5): -
• Oliwia (8/5): Unusual experience - Great location in Koya-san , right next to the temple with good breakfast and dinner, with the option to participate in the morning ceremony. Great experience. English communication is good. There are 40 rooms, you sleep next to the temple not inside. The walls are very thin ,so you can hear all the noises, people talking ,walking above your head. If you are looking for a quiet , relaxing and comfortable stay that's definitely not a place for you.
• Selma (7/5): Great experience but very pricey - It was great experience with incredible tasty vegan food and comfy futon beds Too expensive
• Katharina (7/5): - Solide Pilgerunterkunft, angenehmes Onsen, sehr gute Tempelküche Im Umgang mit ausländischen Touristen eher unerfahren. Es fehlte etwas die Info über Abläufe und Gepflogenheiten im Tempel, was zu Verwirrungen führte. Man fand z.B. den Weg zum Morgengebet nicht gleich und kam zu spät, weil keiner da war um zu fragen.
• david (3/5): Not worth the price - Good for the experience of staying in a temple but otherwise not really worth the price tag! I think it’s probably better to visit Koyasan on a day trip than to spend a huge amount of money to not learn anything from the monks or experience. Pretty much just checked in and were left alone until dinner then breakfast and morning prayer…no explanation or information given at all about the life of these people or even the prayers. Save your money and just come for a day trip from Osaka
• Chunhui (7/5): -
• Anke (9/5): - Zimmer, heißes Bad, Dinner, Teilnahme an Buddistischer Zeremonie Recht kalt (trotz warmer Heizung
• Damian (7/5): -
• Kamélia (8/5): -
• Isabella (8/5): Ótima experiência em koyasan - O templo é muito lindo; o quarto espaçoso e a cama (futon) confortável e bem quentinha; o quarto tinha aquecimento. O banheiro tinha muitas amenidades e muito limpo. As refeições (jantar e café da manhã) impecáveis e muito bem servidas. Gostei tambem que eles permitem participar da cerimonia as 6:30h junto aos monges Eu recebi uma mensagem da propriedade, atraves do booking, com algumas instruções; incluindo que a partir de março teria tour guiado no templo a partir das 16h. Me programei para isso e deixei de fazer outros passeios na cidade. Ao chegar no horario nao aconteceu nada…. E o staff parecia perdido… disse que eu me enganei que isso de outro templo (?); ao mostrar a mensagem do booking ele culpou o booking por isso… dizendo ser um engano. Uma pessoa gentil da equipe até tentou explicar algumas coisas do templo por 5min, mas mesmo assim achei a situação desgostosa
• Rostaing (8/5): Lieu exceptionnel ! - Le lieu est incroyable, le dîner et petit déjeuner sont très bien équilibrés et visuellement attrayants Un peu déçue de la cérémonie du matin, j’attendais à ce qu’elle soit plus profonde et plus longue
• Gogarty (10/5): -
• Bernice (10/5): Special experience - So special to be able to spend the night at a World Heritage site and listen to morning prayers. Check out time may seem a bit early, but it's great for catching the bus to the cable car. Excellent timing. Hallways are cold, but Japanese don't typically centrally heat. The bedrooms are toasty with a heater and if that's not enough try the kotatsu (Japanese table with heating element under it and a thick blanket on top.) Very cozy. Authentic feel.
• Fiona (9/5): -
• urvashi (8/5): -
• Alfonso (8/5): -
• Edu Fisce (10/5): Relax y una experiencia única - Su calidez, ambiente, ubicación, experiencia vivida. Todo excelente
• Sharon (9/5): Most peacefull night of sleep in a impressive place! - I loved my stay here! It was a little confusing on how to check in, you will just have to ask the staff working there. But this lady who spoke very good English helped me and explained the whole stay, showing me where to find the facilities and how to attend the morning prayer. She was really lovely! The morning prayer itself was really impressive and they provide non-Japanese with English booklet which was super helpfull. Overal I loveed staying here and I had the best night of sleep of my entire trip! I also loved the onsen the place has, it is public but if you go a little you could have it for yourself like I did! It was quite cold inside, the provide a heater and the heated table so this helped a lot. And this is not neccisarily a bad thing because it gave me a good laugh, but they put me in the room next to the only other non Japanese speaking visitors and gave us a private room to eat the breakfast in. I actually thought it was thoughtfull and funny!
• stephanie (8/5): Dormir dans un temple et partager des moments de vie des moines a été une expérience très riche - Nous avons beaucoup apprécié de pouvoir vivre ces expériences : dormir dans un temple, goûter au petit-déjeuner des moines et avoir la chance de pouvoir assister à une cérémonie le matin. Rien
• Keiji (5/5): -
• Hiroshi (8/5): -
• Luis (8/5): Experiencia muy diferente a lo acostumbrado - Lugar tradicional para vivir una experiencia diferente. Entorno fantástico y habitación acogedora, con tatami y camas tradicionales cómodas . Cena y desayuno muy bien presentado y habituales en los templos, que independiente del gusto era un na experiencia exótica. Onsen bueno y poco concurrido. Lugar para meditar. Previo algo caro .
• Jaclyn (10/5): Comfortable and unique experience 😊 - Food was delicious. Clean room with my own bathroom. Lovely staff 😊
• Anna (3/5): -
• enrica (10/5): Interessanti le attività proposte - Il fatto che era nell’area di un tempio buddista La colazione
• IGNACIO (9/5): -
• Julien (10/5): - Great place, great everything! Highlight of my travel! I was still super fresh to japan so for the morning prayer I arrived at only 3 minutes before the time indicated, but I guess in japan the time is always 5 minutes before... So we almost missed it if it wasn't for the fact the Chinese lady who was also waiting got told to just walk in! So I guess just having more clarity on the prayer timing but otherwise one of the best experiences I ever add traveling! Thank you so much!
• 川尻 (8/5): 楽しめました。 - のんびり出来ました。 ご本尊が気になっていたのですが、しっかり拝見することができ、ご説明もわかりやすく、参拝できて、とても良かったと思っています。
• Cédric (10/5): - The host was a bit quirky and very kind. The location is amazing. The sento in the residence was fantastic to relax in after a day in the winter cold. The dinner and breakfast were delicious (goma-tofu!). Joining in the morning meditation also felt like a privilege. Nothing!
• Kiam Peng (7/5): Got a smaller and different room that what I booked. Not much interaction with the staff due to language barriers. - A chance to experience staying at temple lodging and take part in the morning prayers ritual. I booked a family style room but was given a much smaller room at a corner , without chairs at the balcony overlooking the garden. Felt disappointed.
• Alvaro (10/5): Unforgettable experience - I loved the location in the middle of the forest but really close to town. The silent in the area. The temple and pagoda were stunning and world heritage sites. The onsen-like batch was another highlight. The spacious room with private bathroom and heating in winter. The brekkie was okay and the morning prayers ceremony along the monks was just a unique unforgettable experience. Everything was perfect but maybe it was freezing in the temple although you have a heating in the room and plenty of blankets in a wardrobe at your disposal so it's okay to sleep warm. The futon beds and pillow provided are also another handicap since they are not that comfy if you are not used to sleeping on the floor. Bear that in mind.
• TOYOICHIRO (8/5): -
• Silvia (8/5): -
• Victoria (10/5): -
• Krzysztof (8/5): -
• severine (9/5): expérience unique dans un lieu historique, magique - lieu exceptionnel, classé au patrimoine mondial accueil adorable par une petite madame et un moine qui vous font faire la visite et vous expliquent les règles du temple prière du matin avec un vrai échange avec les moines, fabuleux chambre confortable, même s'il ne faut pas se mentir, dormir sur des futons, ce n'est pas très confortable
• Alicia (8/5): - Es molt car en relació calitat-preu, però crec que es comú en tots els allotjaments similars. Tot i que les habitacions son correctes, no dorms com a tal al temple, sinó en un edifici adjacent.
• Bygate (9/5): Stunning location, beautiful people, this has to be a wonder of the world - Location was stunning iv never experienced anything like it, the people are lovely and are always really helpful. I had to get use to using Pillows that are more like a bean bag/ wheat bag, as I am use to duck down or memory foam pillows but I’m here to experience cultural differences so I wouldn’t even say that I didn’t like it.
• Despain (10/5): -
• Daisuke (9/5): -
• C- (10/5): Simulate life as a Buddhist monk while sleeping next to a World Heritage Site. - You get to stay the night in a traditional Buddhist room right next to the World Heritage Site Kongo Sanmaiin. I highly recommend the vegetarian meal that I got to eat for breakfast everyday, simulating life of a Buddhist monk. The staff are very accommodating if you speak either English or Japanese and will assist you on how to worship when you attend the religious service. This was one of if not the best hotel experience I’ve had in Japan so far, and sleeping right next to a World Heritage Site is a huge accomplishment I never thought I’d achieve. The only critique I could possibly have is there were a few scratch marks on the wooden ledge next to my bed, but everything else was very well kept by the staff.
• Elisabeth (10/5): - Sehr saubere und schöne Unterkunft mit Tatamis und heißem Bad (Onsen-Stil). Das Essen war toll und es gab zusätzliche GetränkeAutomaten. Die Teilnahme an der Morgenandacht war spannend.
• Rocio (8/5): -
• 誠一郎 (5/5): 宿泊料金に比べて、サービスが低下していた。 - 朝食は美味しいが、みそ汁が冷えていたので、注意してください。 宿泊者に比べて、スタッフの数が足りない。クーラーのリモコンの電池交換をお願いしたが、何の対応もなかった。以前、福智院に宿泊した時は高野山大学のアルバイト学生が機敏に対応されていた。また、お風呂も朝から入浴できた。
• Pilar (9/5): Experiencia inolvidable - El templo es maravilloso y el entorno también. Muy amables y todo limpio. Estuvimos muy cómodos. Poder acompañar a los monjes en su oración de la mañana lo hizo aún más especial. Las almohadas. Ese es el único pero que pongo. Eran pequeñas y duras.
• Jérémie (10/5): -
• Lorenzo (9/5): - Posizione comodissima, personale molto gentile e struttura molto ben organizzata e pulita!
• travellight (7/5): Esperienza originale, prezzo irragionevole - Stanza molto curata nei dettagli e di dimensioni generose. Plus: toilette privata, aria condizionata e bellissima veranda. Per il resto, secondo le aspettative: sapevamo di alloggiare nella dependance di un tempio e non in hotel a 5 stelle. Il tempio e il giardino sono meritevoli Gli orari limitati per l'uso delle docce (comuni): in estate, con 40° e umidità oltre il 70% limitare l'uso delle docce a 3 ore al pomeriggio è assurdo. Per il resto, anche in questo caso secondo le aspettative: i letti tatami e i cuscini di noccioli sono davvero scomodi! Le pareti di carta non insonorizzano e la cena veg per quanto varia, è abbastanza insipida. Il tutto molto poco mistico, ma piuttosto turistico. Prezzo totalmente sproporzionato all'offerta.
• Angeles (9/5): Gran experiencia - Ha sido toda una experiencia. El entorno y el edificio histórico son maravillosos, y la experiencia, también. La posibilidad de asistir a la ceremonia matutina ha sido lo mejor. Las habitaciones son tradicionales y dan a una especie de claustro, es muy relajante. El personal es muy amable. Hay onsen masculino y femenino. Las instalaciones son algo anticuadas y el desayuno puede no gustar -es vegano budista-. No es barato, pero con el alojamiento se contribuye al mantenimiento del edificio.
• Massimo (10/5): -
• Ana Carmen (7/5): -
• Audrey (10/5): - L'emplacement. La chambre avec la vue sur le jardin intérieur. Le petit déjeuner japonais Rien
• Ronny (7/5): Sehenswerter Tempel, einfache Übernachtung - Tempelübernachtung als Ganzes und an sich ein gelungenes Familienabenteuer. Der Tempel ist mit seiner 800-jährigen Geschichte sehenswert und nicht umsonst UNESCO-Welterbe. Die Teilnahme an der Morgenandacht ein Erlebnis. Traditionelles vegetarisches Abendessen und Frühstück schmeckt. Der Badebereich inkl. Onsen ist sauber und ansprechend. Uns hat das Zimmer enttäuscht. Ausstattung war wie erwartet Basic und völlig ausreichend, aber es roch streng nach altem und feuchten Dachboden so dass wir den Aufenthalt im Zimmer auf ein Minimum begrenzt haben.
• Sofie (8/5): -
• Olson (10/5): Absolutely wonderful experience. - It was wonderful. The monks were kind, patient and helpful, especially since we don’t speak Japanese. The room was large, with a private toilet and a wonderful sunroom that opened on to a lovely garden. The pillows were very hard, but it wasn’t that big a deal.
• Carsten Linnet (7/5): - En fantastisk beliggenhed i et meget stille område. Værelset lugtede jordslået og fugtigt. Det var svært at sove i.
• Ida (10/5): Einmaliges Erlebnis - Wunderschöner Tempel in ruhiger Lage bisschen abseits der Hauptstraße. Nettes Personal. Sehr gutes Essen. Während der Morgenzeremonie wurden Infoblätter auf Englisch verteilt die die Geschichte des Tempels und die Zeremonie selbst gut erklärt haben. Nichts.
• parma64 (7/5): - Posto tipico e bella l'esperienza della preghiera al mattino. Personale molto disponibile Tatami e futon un po' umidi
• Francisco Javier (9/5): Una experiencia inolvidable - La posibilidad de disfrutar en primera persona de una oración budista en el propio templo. Nada
• Siri (8/5): - Kjempefin beliggenhet sentralt i Koyasan, men tilbaketrukket fra hovedgaten så det var stille og fredelig. Stort rom, med eget toalett. God badeavdeling. Fin morgenseremoni med munkene, og god mat i buddhistisk vegansk tradisjon. (Hadde kun frokost, så vet ikke hvordan middagen var). Dusj/bad kun åpent fra 16.30-21.
• Seon Augusto (9/5): -
• Aurelien (9/5): - Lieu propre, emplacement au calme vers la forêt, petit déjeuner bon (attention pas de chaise on mange sur les genoux mais belle immersion dans la culture), le temple est joli, cela fut un très bon de moment de détente. La chambre est type auberge traditionnelle, les bains sont très joli. Le manque d'informations sur la cérémonie, on nous donne un papier, puis on doit le lire pendant la cérémonie, on ne nous explique pas vraiment les différentes étapes de la cérémonie, l'histoire etc. Je pense que prendre un temps avant la cérémonie avec les personnes que le souhaite pour leur expliquer serai un plus (la veille ou 30 min avant la cérémonie). Il y avait quelqu'un pour nous donner 2 ou 3 directives mais juste pour dire de se lever, aller ici et se rasseoir. Après je peux comprendre qu'il faut trouver quelqu'un qui parle anglais(au minimum) que peut être il non pas les effectifs. Mais cela à été un bon moment de détente.
• sharona (8/5): חוויה מעניינת בהר עם נוף יפה - חדר מרווח עם מזרונים על הריצפה ומרםסת מקורה קטנה. יש אונסן שהיה כיף לסיים בו את היום תפילת הבוקר ארוחת בוקר יפנית
• Mariana (10/5): -
• Angie (9/5): - It was a nice stay in general; however, we would have liked to experience more of the temple. As we paid a high amount to stay there. The part of the morning ceremony we were allowed to experience was very short. The staff did not speak English and the directions to participate in the ceremony were quite confusing for all the participants. We almost missed it because no one came for us as we were told to wait. We were expecting to do a meditation as well, but this was never mentioned or included in the program. We did not stay in the temple as per say, the lodge is across from the temple.
• Claire (6/5): -
• Alessandra (8/5): Esperienza da fare - La struttura è molto carina e suggestiva, anche il rituale mattutino è particolarmente emozionante. Anche i proprietari sono davvero tanto ospitali! Al mio ragazzo non è piaciuta la colazione 😂 ma ovviamente anche quella fa parte dell’esperienza essendo una loro colazione tradizionale!
• Margaux (5/5): Décevant - Très beaux lieux, au calme, c'est agréable. la chambre était spacieuse, avec une sorte de patio qui donne sur un magnifique jardin L'accueil est assez froid, quasi pas d'interaction avec les moines Nous n'avions pas réservé le repas du soir, le petit dej était moyen Il n'y a pas de douches privées, juste un onsen hommes et un femme C'est finalement cher pour ce que c'est, il n'y avait pas de plus value par rapport a un ryokan ordinaire
• Bruria (2/5): אכזבה קשה במחיר גבוה - כביכול שהייה במקדש אך למעשה שהייה במעין דורמיטורי עלוב מול המקדש ללא גישה למקדש אלא לתפילה בבוקר כשהשערים נעולים בכל יתר הזמן חדר מינימלי מקלחת מחוץ לחדר שמובנת במקדשים אבל זה לא מה שהיה כאן. ניצול של המושג שהייה במקדש כדי לגבות מחיר גבוה על מקום מינימלי ולא נעים ארוחת ערב צמחונית שזה מקובל אבל ברמה הנמוכה ביותר (לא היתה עולה יותר מ-800 ין בכל מקום אחר וכן עלתה 4000 לא נעשה כל מאמץ לתת מעבר לבסיס (כמעט כמו לאסירים) הצווות ממש לא נעים ,קבלת פנים של אישה מבוגרת שהופתעה מהגעתנו ועשתה טובה שהתייחסה אלינו ולא ידעה מילה באנגלית ולא הבינה מה רוצים ממנה . פרט לתפילת הבוקר שהיתה יפה כל היתר היה מתחת לגרוע ועלוב מאוד לא מומלץ הכל
• Kyser (10/5): -
• Diego (7/5): -
• Valerie (9/5): A real experience to stay here for a night. - No problems with the Japanese style room with private toilet. Slept well on the futons. The communal showers also have onsens. The vegan dinner was not cheap, but a real experience and tasty. The morning prayers were interesting to attend.
• natalija (10/5): This is an accommodation at religious site - Dinner na
• Dilip (9/5): -
• SecretWorld (9/5): Esperienza molto suggestiva in un tempio di Koyasan: non può mancare. - Soggiorno con pernotto, cena e colazione (vegetariane). Ottima atmosfera, molto molto suggestiva, con preghiera alle 6:30 del mattino, nel tempio. Esperienza positiva, ci è piaciuta moltissimo. Persone estremamente gentili. Nulla
• Chloé (8/5): -
• Johan (8/5): Unique et mémorable ! - Le personnel accueillant, la cérémonie matinale, c’était un moment hors du temps ! Nous nous attendions à une chambre correspondant à ce que nous avions réservé, cela ne correspondait pas au photos et c’était bien plus petit.
• Robert (1/5): Not worth the money. Would for sure not recommend. - The breakfast was not eatable. Also it was extremely cold in the breakfast area, the room and in the morning during the morning ceremony. Be aware that you are not sleeping in the actual temple, but a facility outside of the temple that is way less beautiful. It felt like a scam as the pictures do make it seem like you are sleeping in the actual temple. Be prepared for some big dissapointments.
• David (10/5): - Authentic Japanese stay with nice rooms with a view of the garden. The morning ceremony was spiritual, and the breakfast was delicious. Definitely recommend staying here if you are after an authentic Temple stay.
• gianna (8/5): Monastero pieno di fascino - Il monastero è bellissimo! La preghiera della mattina molto intensa anche se la spiegazione dei monaci è solo in giapponese. Viene data comunque una versione scritta in inglese. La colazione buona . Bello ...i servizi ovviamente sono basici ma non è per jl lusso che si dorme in un monastero Il cuscino durissimo ..e la stanza fredda (si compensa accendendo il condizionatore )
• Mauricio (10/5): Absolutely incredible! - Everything was magical, the room was very beautiful and cozy. The place is absolutely outstanding, the breakfast was amazing and all the spiritual ambience was incredible. The fact that we could join the prayer ceremony was very special.
• federica (3/5): - Posto incantevolo e vicino a uno dei tempi più antichi del koyasan. La gestione del check-in e checkout è un po' lasciata a se stessa, non ti dicono nemmeno dove fare il checkout e devi girare un po' in tondo per trovarlo. Purtroppo la notte è stata un po' burrascosa perché c'era un topino in camera. Non c'è contatto con lo staff quindi ci siamo sentite un po' perse e di troppo.
• Laura (7/5): -
