This is a unique experience to live in a Buddhist temple for one day. Across the street you can find the beautiful Koyasan cemetery. Pure magic. The dinner and breakfast served was magnificent. We also enjoyed the spa at night. We are truly grateful for this experience.

Good location

Good location, great services, has all need. There is no private bathroom, all shared bathrooms, their no chairs all sitting on floor. Could do with a little low chair in room. I had to ask for goma fire as they are not doing them anymore. I think they should have them, lots of people wanted it. I book late, had double price it should be, over price. At normal price it is a good placed to stay and would recommend.

Place needs a major update. It’s extremely dated. The whole point is to experience life with the monks but it’s pretty hard to take if you are used to western amenities. Also, the monks do their best, but several are lacking customer service skills, and they have a lot of rules to follow.

Magical news years eve stay in Koyasan

We got to stay here for the night of news years eve and enjoyed a vegetarian dinner. My husband cannot eat any wheat or gluten so the monks made sure he had a special vegetable dish with no soy sauce. The rooms were at first cold but with the heaters warmed up nicely. The hot baths were nice. We enjoyed walking the town and seeing the various shrines and temples and large cemetery too. The huge cypress trees were amazing. And the cemetery was lit at night too. We walked around in the evening and heard the huge bells rung 108 times for the new year. It was snowing and very magical. The town people have out free sake and hot tea to visitors for the New Year’s Eve ceremony. We awoke early and joined the monks for early prayers. We slept on futons (very comfortable) and the bathrooms were very clean.

Klassiek Japans slaapverblijf in een tempel

Goed verblijf in klassieke Japanse stijl. Hoewel (gedeeld) sanitair en de slaapvoorzieningen erg netjes, schoon en verzorgd zijn, hoef je geen luxe te verwachten. Voor de prijs die je betaalt, krijg je de sfeer en omgeving. De muren zijn volgens Japanse traditie van dikker papier, waardoor de binnentemperatuur in de accommodatie 8 graden was. Er staan kachels in de kamer en de dekens zijn ontzettend warm, waardoor je niet in de kou slaap. Kies je voor dit hotel, of een van de andere in Koyason - ze vertonen veel gelijkenis - dan kies je voor een ervaring en niet voor een klassiek hotel, houd daar rekening mee. Schoenen uit en op slippers door de tempel lopen. Het personeel is erg vriendelijk en het diner (geserveerd om stipt 17.30u) en ontbijt (geserveerd om stipt 7.30u) zijn volgens de lokale gebruiken veganistisch, maar erg lekker.

Une nuit au monastère !

Séjour dans un monastère, on oublie le confort superflu et le temps d’une nuit on vit au rythme des moines. Cérémonies le matin, petit déjeuner et dîner local avec les autres guests. Moment très agréable, lieu hors des sentiers battus.

Unsere Erwartungshaltung war eine andere. So lebt man dort nicht in einem Kloster mit Mönchen, sondern ist einer unter gefühlt tausenden von Touristen. Das Abendessen nimmt man z.B. mit anderen Touristen ein, die morgendliche Zeremonie wird ebenso nur für die Touristen veranstaltet. Es wirkt alles nicht sehr authentisch. Wir waren vorher in einer tollen Ryokan, bei der man sich mit mehr Traditionen verbunden gefühlt hat. Wenn man sich darauf einstellt, so kann es ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt werden. Das Personal ist superfreundlich, die Unterkunft sauber.

This was a very unique experience to be in beautiful mountainous area living in a temple . The food is very different and fun to experiment with different vegetarian options we have never seen before. This is the only temple that does a powerful fire ceremony that was NOT to be missed! Loved this so much! Rooms are Japanese style- futons on the floor, but comfortable and clean. Highly recommend. Don’t miss touring the magical cemetery nearby !!

Experiencia TOP

Una experiencia maravillosa. Estuvimos muy cómodos, el personal siempre muy atento. Cena y desayuno vegetarianos (y bastante temprano, sobre las 17:30 y a las 21h cierran el templo y no podrías salir más, por lo que no estaría mal, que tuvierais algún snack para luego si os apeteciera) Recomendable 100%
