Above and beyond expectations. The monk who did the check in was very thorough and spoke perfect English. Others speak enough English for our needs. We opted for western style bed and it was very comfortable. The room floor and private bathroom are both heated - must be heavenly in winter. The shower is an experience in itself. The dinner is set up in a private room complete with poem and calligraphy on the wall. The best vegetarian meal we ever had. At the time of booking, I thought the price was a bit high but it’s worth every pennies.

Everyone should be carful in here , we hade very bad memories and accidents in here, we lose two gold earring when they asked us to leave room for night tour and the room hadn’t key for lockdown! They were not responsible about security! We were thinking here is spiritual place, but just show, i have been more than 108 countries and I haven’t any like this experience

This temple stay is amazing. Vegetarian breakfast and dinner was great. The morning prayer and fire ritual was great to take part in. They also offered an afternoon mediation tutorial. There was a night tour for the cemetery, however I did not take part. It was a little concerning that the English tour was ¥1000 yen more than the Japanese tour. Overall I highly recommend this place.

很特別的體驗,房間不大但乾淨整潔,兩餐素食也很豐富,參加了下午的冥想、晚上的夜遊奧之院營造得很神祕小哥一路的介紹講解倒挺有趣;第二天早上的晨讀和火祭在Facebook有直播,最後把寫好的祈福簽丟進火裏頗有儀式感。整體感覺不錯,小鎮上西方遊客多也很商業化了,國內的佛教資源遠多於這裏,好好運營並適當商業化錢途無量啊…

酒店體驗很豐富 有阿字觀 早課和護摩 早晚飯都是純素 體驗很好 但是衞生間是幾個房間共享一個小衞生間 這點有些不方便 因為冬天外面很冷 總體在高野山宿坊很推薦

非常棒的體驗,位置在高野山,交通很方便。寺廟很安靜,早上會做護摩法會。兩餐全素,房間沒有衞生間,需要去公共衞生間洗澡。

Als Hotel betrachtet, kann man den Aufenthalt als interessant und angenehm bezeichnen. Wer sich aber einen tieferen Einblick in den esoterischen bzw. Shingon-Buddhismus erwartet, wird enttäuscht sein. Natürlich sind die Abend/ Morgenrituale und das vegan Essen interessant bzw sogar spektakulär, aber es wird praktisch kaum etwas erklärt und es gibt auch keine Möglichkeit für Gespräche oder sonstigen Kontakt mit den Mönchen. Da die Anreise/ Abreise selbst aus/nach Osaka mindestens 3.5 Stunden dauert, sollte man unbedingt 2 Nächte in Koyasan einplanen, um die Sehenswürdigkeiten ohne Hetze besichtigen zu können.  Mein Eindruck war, dass der Aufenthalt primär zur Finanzierung der Tempel dient, aber nicht, um den Besuchern die Lehre des Shingon-Buddhismus bzw die Lebensweise der Mönche näher zu bringen. Für diesen kleinen Einblick würde ich nicht nochmals in so ein abgelegenes Gebiet reisen.
