8/10 Very good

Très belle expérience au koyansan. Temple auberge tres beau, repas typique, prière du matin, petit déjeuner typique (faut aimer). Petit onsen intérieur. Rapport qualité/prix un peu élevé mais un des seuls temples qu on peut réserver via hotels.com. L expérience et la promenade dans le cimetière et koyasan vaut le détour

Une expérience inoubliable à Koyasan. Nous avons apprécié la sérénité et l'hospitalité durant notre séjour.

Nice place to stay. Morning praying is a must-see. Please show respect, don't use your phone.

Bellissima esperienza

Posto meraviglioso dove stare in pace e serenità.. cena e colazione vegetariane molto buone. Bisogna abituarsi un pochino al freddo nei corridoi che portano ai bagni e zona docce dove purtroppo non c é riscaldamento. Camere spaziose e calde Consigliato
romina, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Bella esperienza tra i monasteri e i monaci di koyasan, tipica struttura giapponese con cena e colazione della tradizione, bella l’esperienza della preghiera mattutina ma un po’ limitanti gli orari della cena e la chiusura delle docce. Stanze molto fredde, ci sarebbe piaciuto trovare la stanza calda anziché avere la stessa temperatura esterna.

The staff was very friendly. Nice rooms. The diner was delicious! Of course the morning ceremony is a must! Followed by the breakfast 👌

Special Stay

Very special place to stay. Morning prayer session is not to be missed. They have good air conditioning in the room we stayed in which was necessary due to the heat. Everything closes early in town and dinner is at 5pm.
Clay, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The experience was what we expected. Very Japanese, quiet with beautiful gardens. They changed our booking from a room for 6 to three rooms for 2 each and had a nice garden view. The dinner was surprisingly very good with all vegetable dishes but quite diverse texture and taste. We enjoyed our stay.

Very welcoming to our 8yo twins! Lovely meal and it was special to be a part of the morning service (7am!) Kids were able to participate in the incense burning and prayer.

10/10 Exceptional

Soggiorno incantevole in una struttura che rislecchia le tipiche tradizioni dei monaci Sgingon, suggestiva la cerimonia buddista al mattino, cena in camera tipica Giapponese vegetariana e dintorni decisamente mistici, quasi surreale... Eaperienza in totale pace e tranquillità decisamente meditativa. 🔝
Mauro, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The temple is amazing and the rooms nice. It wasn’t clear though from the site that the meditation was an extra fee (1000 ¥). The kaiseki dinner was good but there were no expiation of the food or in which order to eat it. Overall a bit overpriced in my opinion.

What an amazing experience. Should have stayed for more days. Staff super helpful. The ceremony we attended was graceful. Experience of 7 course meal was worth spending time

Staying with the monks

We had a wonderful room that included separate sleeping ( futons on floor) a sitting room and our own private toilet. We had ordered dinner which was delivered to our room. We did go to the 6:30 a.m. ceremony followed by breakfast. It was a delightful experience. The location was good and there was close parking. A great town to wander in!

Maden var virkelig pæn, men ikke spiselig. Der var intet smag i og vi var meget sultne da vi kørte derfra.

Special special special

A very different experience for a foreigner, and one that I cherished as a student of Buddhism. If you aren’t adventurous, I don’t recommend it, and if you go, please be curious, open, and full of respect. The non-sleeping rooms will be very cold in winter, the food served is the food served, without changes available, there are rules about which slippers to wear where and what can be photographed, etc. If you’re interested in deep travel (versus hedonism), you will be gifted and changed. Otherwise, please don’t go.

2/10 Poor

客室内の洗面台に自動の水道蛇口と、通常であれば石鹸水が出るであろう蛇口のボタンがあり、そのボタンを押したところ、石鹸水ではなく、冷たい水が出てきたので、係員に尋ねたところ、「私にはわからない。多分壊れている。すぐには治らない」と言われた。 夕食の配膳時に別の係員に尋ねたら、「ボタンはうがい用の水です。飲まないで下さい」と言われました。部屋のどこにもそのような説明注意書もありません。また、スタッフの若い多分お坊さん達はすれ違っても挨拶もしません。宿坊の中では宿泊費の高い方だと思いますが、とても残念でした。
