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.

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.
Verified review

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.

Decent accommodations but poor food

The hotel is nice enough for the location, really enjoyed the Onsen. The location is close to center of town and attractions. We found the food to be much below expectations. We are used to vegetarian food so that wasn’t the issue, it was just very unappetizing. So don’t go here for the food but the accommodations are fine.

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!

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.

O spa é pequeno, mas se trata de um monasterio. Não poderia esperar algo grandioso. A comida é ok. Vegetariana por ser um monasterio budista. Tudo estava de acordo com o esperado.

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
