Once in a lifetime experience

Stayed in April 2024

The pillows. I don't mind sleeping in futons but the pillow was not comfortable at all. I ended up folding up some towels to place ontop of the kneeling pillows.

It's absolutely gorgeous. I was welcomed by the monks who were incredibly friendly and spoke amazing English. They explained everything and explained about rituals that will take place we can watch. Walking around the temple at night was magical. The dinner and breakfast they served were amazing as well.

Not a dislike, but a discomfort. It’s a monetary so the building isn’t heated as a hotel and dinner is served sitting on knees. Very peaceful and contemplative but somewhat unique.

Incredible access to the monastery site at night. And a super interesting location.

It was an exceptional experience. The reception was super warm and friendly, from the moment we arrived they offered us tea. The temples are impressive and the landscapes will take your breath away. The lodging building was impeccably clean and organized, the rooms were gigantic, and the treatment of the staff and both the dinner and breakfasts were exemplary experiences. The onsen (the traditional baths) was the highlight of the experience. But attending the ceremonies, especially the fire ritual is a unique experience not to be missed.

Sitting remotely cross legged at dinner was a challenge. Dinner is only served on tatami mats.

Staying at the monastery gives late evening and early morning access to the temple complex, which is the main reason for staying, and weather providing it's a truly worthwhile experience. If you want to get out of the city and enjoy a day in serene nature, it's a good choice.

During my stay there, the same public bath was used by males and females, but times for male and females were in different schedules. However, there was no gap between them. It could cause some confusion and sometimes embarrassment.

The place was super clean and spacious. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The dinner and breakfast were delicious and well arranged. The surroundings of the place we stayed were very beautiful and good for hiking.

An amazing experience, the night walk in the temple, the food, the morning prayer. Definitely worth it to go for 1 night.

Being immersed in the temple world, staying overnight adds an extra dimension. The early morning fire ceremony. The meals.

Just a little explanation for the food would have be great! Just to understand how different parts should have been combined together.

It was really fantastic to see the different ceremonies ! Onsen !! Also for the ones with tatoos !

Toilet is a bit far from my bedroom.

Morning pray and atmosphere of surroundings

Honestly, nothing! To be really picky - the pillows were a little hard.

Staying here was such a brilliant, unique experience and hands down one of our favourite moments from travelling in Japan. The food was amazing and getting to walk around the temple grounds at night, when they were virtually empty, felt like a real treat. The fire ceremony was beautiful to watch and the onsen facilities were great too - a really nice size for the amount of guests and open for long hours in the evening.
