Wonderful shukubo experience. The temple and its garden are magical. The traditional Japanese room was very comfortable and finely decorated. The onsen was quite pleasant. The meals very delicate and diverse. The meditation and chanting ceremonies very moving. Finally, the monks were very welcoming. Great memories all-round.

The food is really weak here. I know it’s a monastery and it is what the monks cook and eat, but come on - price for staying here has nothing to do with simplicity or modesty. I think they could do much better with the money they charge.
