I stayed at two temples in Koyasan and this one was much inferior to the first one. They do not serve any meals. The staff was not very welcoming and cordial. They only offer one option to bath at night and nothing the morning. They also only offer one temple experience in the AM at 6:30. They were not helpful to assist visitors to determine where to sit and how to participate in the service. Would suggest you do your research in choosing a temple. The price was very good and I guess one gets value for what was the price.

Thank you for stayingA special group of believers attended this morning's prayer.They came here to pray so they sat in the front row.Everything you write in your review is a house rule that you can know before booking.I am sorry that the monks are not friendly.

This location is so quiet and serene. It was a privilege to watch the monks morning prayers.
Rooms were large. Location was walkable to the various sights.
I misunderstood the webpage when I booked and thought that dinner and breakfast were included but no meals are served here. I’m not sure if it is the time of year or whether it is always the same but local restaurants seemed to only be open from 9 to 4.

No hay buena atención, no brindan agua caliente para beber un té a pesar del frío. Al momento de irnos llovía, hacia frío, pero no nos ofrecieron llamar a un taxi. Decepcionada.

Exactly as advertised and expected!
Posted 17 Nov 2019 on HotelsWe were here for the temple stay experience which was in our bucket list, so had accepted the high cost for the nights stay as one of those things.
Accommodation is sparkling clean and new, but very very basic. Public bath is small and very basic.
There is no shower available in the morning at all. Food was good at dinner and breakfast - all Japanese. Service was very good.
The prayer ceremony started bang on time, and was just about half an hour. It was as expected, something to experience.
Property is in a fantastic location so close to all attractions of Koya making it possible to stay one night and see everything. Although curfew after 9pm is noted in the website, they must have succumbed to the pressures of tourists, we were told the small gate is open all night. During our stay, we noticed that there was not one Japanese tourist...
They were happy to let us leave our car until check in time as well as a couple of hours after check out.
The staff were perfectly efficient and helpful, if a bit stiff - as can be expected of monks...

Unique cultural experience
Posted 10 Jun 2019 on HotelsWe had a good garden view, and the temple provided everything needed. Everything is maintained and cleaned well. Morning prayer was a unique experience definitely worth joining. Hot bath is nice. However, the food will not suit everyone's taste.
