Koyasan Syukubo Kumagaiji

Good location, great services, has all need. There is no private bathroom, all shared bathrooms, their no chairs all sitting on floor. Could do with a little low chair in room. I had to ask for goma fire as they are not doing them anymore. I think they should have them, lots of people wanted it. I book late, had double price it should be, over price. At normal price it is a good placed to stay and would recommend.

Nice to experience a night in a Buddhist temple and morning ceremonies. Public Bath and toilet are a bit hard to handle in the cold weather at night.

奥の院から近くて、お食事もとてもおいしく設備も、おもてなしもとても良かったです。おすすめの宿坊です

I don’t want to sound cliché but I can not recommend this place highly enough. Please go and please stay here. Every bit of it was wonderful, the dining experience, the garden, the onsens, the waterfall and the staff: exceptionally beautiful and enthusiastically helpful people.

Place needs a major update. It’s extremely dated. The whole point is to experience life with the monks but it’s pretty hard to take if you are used to western amenities. Also, the monks do their best, but several are lacking customer service skills, and they have a lot of rules to follow.

Had a wonderful stay and very interesting meals served by our hosts. The place is sparkling clean and the ambience is very relaxing.

宿坊らしく華美ではなく厳粛で、しかし便利で清潔、居心地の良い体験でした。

This is a unique experience to live in a Buddhist temple for one day. Across the street you can find the beautiful Koyasan cemetery. Pure magic. The dinner and breakfast served was magnificent. We also enjoyed the spa at night. We are truly grateful for this experience.

Goed verblijf in klassieke Japanse stijl. Hoewel (gedeeld) sanitair en de slaapvoorzieningen erg netjes, schoon en verzorgd zijn, hoef je geen luxe te verwachten. Voor de prijs die je betaalt, krijg je de sfeer en omgeving. De muren zijn volgens Japanse traditie van dikker papier, waardoor de binnentemperatuur in de accommodatie 8 graden was. Er staan kachels in de kamer en de dekens zijn ontzettend warm, waardoor je niet in de kou slaap. Kies je voor dit hotel, of een van de andere in Koyason - ze vertonen veel gelijkenis - dan kies je voor een ervaring en niet voor een klassiek hotel, houd daar rekening mee. Schoenen uit en op slippers door de tempel lopen. Het personeel is erg vriendelijk en het diner (geserveerd om stipt 17.30u) en ontbijt (geserveerd om stipt 7.30u) zijn volgens de lokale gebruiken veganistisch, maar erg lekker.

住了两晚，

Séjour dans un monastère, on oublie le confort superflu et le temps d’une nuit on vit au rythme des moines. Cérémonies le matin, petit déjeuner et dîner local avec les autres guests. Moment très agréable, lieu hors des sentiers battus.

Unsere Erwartungshaltung war eine andere. So lebt man dort nicht in einem Kloster mit Mönchen, sondern ist einer unter gefühlt tausenden von Touristen. Das Abendessen nimmt man z.B. mit anderen Touristen ein, die morgendliche Zeremonie wird ebenso nur für die Touristen veranstaltet. Es wirkt alles nicht sehr authentisch. Wir waren vorher in einer tollen Ryokan, bei der man sich mit mehr Traditionen verbunden gefühlt hat. Wenn man sich darauf einstellt, so kann es ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt werden. Das Personal ist superfreundlich, die Unterkunft sauber.

This was a very unique experience to be in beautiful mountainous area living in a temple . The food is very different and fun to experiment with different vegetarian options we have never seen before. This is the only temple that does a powerful fire ceremony that was NOT to be missed! Loved this so much! Rooms are Japanese style- futons on the floor, but comfortable and clean. Highly recommend. Don’t miss touring the magical cemetery nearby !!
