Really nice staff who explain the culture and history of Koyasan really well! I recommend booking with breakfast and dinner included as the food is amazing and unique and you won't find it anywhere else in Japan!

Beautiful place to stay in Kōyasan, the food is very good and the monks and staff are so kind and attentive. I recommend staying here for an authentic Buddhist temple experience. And don’t miss the morning prayer.

The area around the property is so beautiful! I loved waking up in the morning & seeing the forest outside. My room was very clean and the front desk service very friendly. I really enjoyed the dinner & breakfast service (everything tasted amazing!~) and the morning meditation ceremony was memorable. Everyone at the temple are so kind and helpful.

Wonderful traditional stay
This was a wonderful traditional ryokan temple stay. The food was excellent. The onsen was tranquil. The room was spacious and futons very comfortable. The english speaking gentleman (who worked w the temple) was knowledgeable, passionate and eager to answer questions.

First time staying in a Skukubo in Japan. The traditional Japanese ryokan style of the Sojin was great. Including tatami matts and sliding doors. The staff and monk service was very accomodating. They provided extra water when I asked for it, and made my bed while I was having dinner. Expecially the dining experience of the Buddhist monks cooking and serving their meals of Shojin Ryori. These were the best meals I have ever had!

Nice experience for a change, but not comfortable for older people. Hotel like a temple with monks serving meals on their exact times. All veggie Japanese style made with care. Halfboard overpriced.

Sayaka San was wonderful, friendly, attentive and professional. She became our Japanese grand daughter.😏😆

10/10 Exceptional

A wonderful experience. This is a Buddhist temple offering a 'luxury' retreat complete with a gourmet style vegetarian dinner and breakfast. If you have any interest in Buddhism this will for you. Lot's of great places to explore by foot. Went in December and the snow turned the place into a beautiful landscape. The town itself can be a little touristy but so is the Vatican! Highly recommended - but be respectful of the religious context of this location.

Ein muss, wenn man in Japan ist. Eine Nacht war für uns völlig ausreichend. Man kann auch an der morgendlichen Zeremonie (06:00 Uhr - 07:00 Uhr teilnehmen. Anschliessend wird man noch durch den Tempel geführt und es wird einiges über den Glauben erzählt. Es war wirklich spannend.
