The staff at the accommodation were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The English-speaking staff guided us around the facilities and thoroughly explained the rules. Despite the curfew at 9 PM, we were allowed to return later using an alternate door. Dinner was superb and delicious, with a variety of vegan dishes offered. It's a perfect place to relax and rejuvenate.

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.

Everything was exceptional and memorable: our room, the facilities, the bath, the gardens, the staff, the food.

It completely overturned my image of a temple lodging. The vegetarian food was beautiful to look at, delicious, and filling. The room was warm, clean, and comfortable. The morning service was also a valuable experience. The lodging has a refined atmosphere, including the garden.

When I opened the door, I was shocked. It was so beautiful. I stayed at the shukubo for two nights. I thought it was expensive when I booked it. I lost half of my iPhone in two nights. But I was shocked when I opened the door. 😄The shukubo is very close to Kongo Peak. The location is in the center of Koyasan. It is close to the bus stop. It is very convenient. I highly recommend it. I give it a thumbs up👍
