Great location close to Hagurosan and Gassan. Hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was very cool too - traditional Shukubo lodging and the building was beautiful. The room was very large, traditional Japanese style like you would expect from a Ryokan stay. Overall great value too (note: I visited for two weekdays in early August).

The vegetarian food was exceptional, creatively prepared, delicious and delightful. The staff was courteous, the room was spacious, the temple grounds was serene and natural, and the overall atmosphere refreshing and unexpectedly amiable, especially the monk. He added our names into his prayers !

Historical building with a lot of charm. Very close to the start of mount Haguro's ascent. The feeling of being far from the world and in a place of pilgrimage was clear and strong. We had vegetarian temple food and it was delicious: a truly culinary experience. The room was spacious and lovely. If you travel in the fall the house could get a bit chilly but nothing that can't be shaken off by the warm beds, and the very nice shared hot baths! Also very special and fascinating to participate to the morning prayer. They had an interpreter for us during it and it was much appreciated.

The morning prayer ritual and clean accommodation.

I would give 11 to this place if I could, I could even give 100. The hospitality at Daishinbo is incredible. Also, if you stay more than one day, a different menu will be prepared for you every meal, even if that means preparing that menu just for you.

This is an authentic temple with prayers every morning by the Buddhist monks. The room was large and spacious. The futons were comfortable and the food amazing

Great food, very caring and devoted hosts that go the extra mile in eg offering firefly viewing and surprising me with onigiri for my hike, adjusting breakfast and dinner time to my plans.

Both dinner and breakfast were delicious and plentiful. We stayed three nights and the food was different for every meal! Our room was spacious, we even had a private toilet. Even though the Shukubo was fully booked, it was very quiet. The staff was friendly and helpful. Great location very close to the entrance of Mt. Haguro. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again. Highly recommended!

Breakfast and dinner, both were great and included in the price. Location was convenient for going to Dewa Sanzan mountains. The bath has an ofuro which is appreciated after a day in the mountain. The family running the accommodation is very attentive and the morning ritual was unique.

C'était notre première expérience d'hébergement dans un monastère-auberge shinto (situé à l'entrée d'un site célèbre, pour les Japonais, et magnifique). Nous y avons pas mal appris, y compris sur le plan culinaire. On nous a servi au dîner et au petit déjeuner la cuisine des pélerins. L'intérêt ethnographique des salles communes (temple et salle à manger). Comme partout au Japon, la gentillesse de l'accueil.
