Koya Hotels with Breakfast

For the price, this was a really average stay. The staff were average, as well as the food. The staff were friendly but they didn’t feel genuine. The Temple itself is very beautiful. The rooms are large, however the floor mattresses are completely worn out so you can actually feel the hard floor beneath you. I’ve stayed in a Ryokan before and their mattresses were still soft and comfortable so this Temples mattresses are definitely in need of an upgrade. Would I come here again? Probably not.

Very authentic place, interesting unique experience. Unusual breakfast and dinner, very delicious. There are some free entertainment like meditation, tea ceremony and ritual of fire (well not quite the ritual of fire, it still once at some time, but the ritual was). A huge plus - an English-speaking monks who helped not only with domestic issues, but also told about cultural and religious features. The main minus - hell cold in the morning even in September.

The accommodation and the temple are not in the same building and are 20 meters apart. The temple is very quiet, beautiful and simple. The accommodation is completely Japanese-style and has complete facilities. The morning classes starting at 6:30 in the morning are full of ritual and parking is convenient.

Thank you very much! It's what I want! Thank you very much for everything Akamatsuin! I attended morning classes, made a wish, and bought (pleased) a lot of leaves from the Sancobalt pine! When I checked in, I received a five-color bracelet as a gift! Everything is super happy😄 Don't compare with city hotels because they are completely different. The room is very big, because it is underground and connected to the garden, which is so happy. The toilet and bathroom are separated, and the dry and wet areas are separated, which is good. Slept peacefully. I often don’t sleep well in hotels outside. A holy place indeed! The dining area is very precious, with precious furnishings and screen paintings! But unfortunately, it seems that some guests did not notice this preciousness. Another unexpected joy is that the hair dryer is from the Panasonic negative ion series! Hair is not dry after blow-drying❤️ On the first day, it rained on the mountain and snow fell on the mountain. Although it was very cold, it was beautiful! I hope to visit this sacred Mount Koya again next year when the weather warms up! I hope I can book a room at Akamatsuin again by then.
