The location up a side street in a wooded area was lovely. The Buddhist temple and buildings (across the road from the provided accom) were very impressive and atmospheric. The meals were good and the prayer session in the morning was fascinating. The accom buildings were rather dingy and scruffy. The futons were very uncomfortable. The public bath was available in the evening but not in the morning. So there was no opportunity to shower in the morning. The monks were not particularly welcoming and rather abrupt. You got the feeling they tolerated visitors because of the large amount of yen we were bringing in.

食事場所に椅子があればもっと良かった

朝の勤行に参加させていただき心が洗われるようでした。特別拝観で障壁画なども見ることができよかったです。ただし、他の方々も食事場所の大広間は椅子とテーブルの方が快適だと思います。ご検討ください。

Die Tempelgebäude sind als Weltkulturerbe einzigartig und die Zeremonie am Morgen war sehr beeindruckend. Die Gästezimmer sind in einem Nebengebäude außerhalb untergebracht, das weniger Charme hat. Die Zimmer sind sehr einfach, ohne Schlüssel, und in unserem Zimmer roch es etwas muffig. Der Onsen ist nett, aber relativ klein. Das typisch japanische Essen war reichlich. Es gab außerdem Getränkeautomaten im Haus.

4月頭の滞在

宿坊ということもあり、トイレが綺麗なのか和式トイレだとやだなと思っていましたが、とても清潔で真新しいトイレで安心して快適に過ごすことができました。畳に敷布団は懐かしい感覚でよかったですが枕が私的には合わなかったので欲を言えば低反発枕とかがあると嬉しいです。 夕食の精進料理も美味しかったのですが、外国人の友人が畳にお膳だと足が苦しい感じでした。畳にお膳というのは日本人的には落ち着くのですが外国人的には大変なところもあると思います。 朝のお勤めに参加できたのは良い思い出です。まだ観光客のいない美しいお寺で仏様と境内を満喫できたのは素晴らしかったです。

清潔、快適な宿坊

清潔な宿坊で、部屋も新しく、快適でした。 部屋にトイレ、洗面スペースが広くありました。 食事もおいしかったです。 宿坊なので、鍵がかかりません。 残念なのはwifi ありでしたが、15分で切れる&1日6回までしか入れないこと。 それから、DOCOMOの電波が弱かったです。
