Amazing experience.

As expected
Verified traveler
Our room was big and clean and the staff was friendly, overall the temple lodge was s great experience.
Koyasan is a truly magical place to visit.

The location up a side street in a wooded area was lovely. The Buddhist temple and buildings (across the road from the provided accom) were very impressive and atmospheric.
The meals were good and the prayer session in the morning was fascinating.
The accom buildings were rather dingy and scruffy. The futons were very uncomfortable. The public bath was available in the evening but not in the morning. So there was no opportunity to shower in the morning.
The monks were not particularly welcoming and rather abrupt. You got the feeling they tolerated visitors because of the large amount of yen we were bringing in.

Bella struttura comoda vicino al centro. Si dorme in una struttura accanto al tempio. Il tempio chiude le porte alle 17.00. Bisogna arrivare prima altrimenti si rimane fuori. Cena alle 17.30 in una grande stanza insiemi agli altri ospiti. La mattina alle 6.30 la preghiera e subito dopo verso le 7.30 la cilazione. Bel posto per rilassarsi. Al check in ci ha assistito una signora gentile che ci ha spiegato tutto e sapeva anche qualche parola in italiano. Buona cena e colazione.

Lovely temple stay with great food and gorgeous location!
We stayed one night at Kongo Sanmai-in with dinner and breakfast. The temple is located withdrawn from the main street which makes the location very quiet and serene.
The food was very good and a great way to experience the buddhistic vegetarian dishes. And the morning prayer was a great experience as well. We were very happy that we stayed at this temple for our temple stay experience at Koyasan!
Some things to know if you wanna stay here as well:
- Some of the staff could speak English, but it's definitely a benefit to know Japanese, especially for the morning prayer where all (for our prayer session at least) was explained in Japanese.
- The rooms are not the most soundproof, meaning you might be able to hear the ones staying in the neighbouring room if they speak loudly. But it wasn't really an issue for us
- The baths are shared (even if you have your own toilet) and they are traditionally Japanese like the ones you might see at a public bathhouse with a shared bathtub and showers on a row. Its a fun and authentic experience, but if you're shy or uncomfortable with showering with others, just ensure you have showered before arriving here.

El templo es muy bonito, pero la experiencia muy decepcionante. En el check in no dan información del templo, te informan de horario de cena, desayuno y ceremonia, sin más. Las habitaciones están en fuera del templo, por lo que a las 17. No hay ningún tipo de contacto ni actividad para hacer ni te ofrecen info. La cena y el desayuno no explican los alimentos ni cómo tomarlos (de la cena hubo un niño chillando por la sala, bastante decepcionante), la cena muy bueno todo y el desayuno cositas más extrañas para nuestro paladar. La instalación muy básica, la almohada es la muerte, el kimono super antiguo, la zona de agua, solo interna muy básica. La ceremonia interesante, pero te dan un folio explicativo al final de la ceremonia (deberían darlo antes) y el Monge está casi 15 minutos hablando al final y es en japonés, no entiendes lo que dice, una pena que no traduzcan porque parecía muy interesante! Nosotros no volveríamos.

世界遺産に値するお寺ですが、ホテルとは違うので、施設・サービスは、期待できません。朝業は、厳粛で、これぞ朝のお勤めという赴きでした。

食事場所に椅子があればもっと良かった
朝の勤行に参加させていただき心が洗われるようでした。特別拝観で障壁画なども見ることができよかったです。ただし、他の方々も食事場所の大広間は椅子とテーブルの方が快適だと思います。ご検討ください。

Die Tempelgebäude sind als Weltkulturerbe einzigartig und die Zeremonie am Morgen war sehr beeindruckend. Die Gästezimmer sind in einem Nebengebäude außerhalb untergebracht, das weniger Charme hat. Die Zimmer sind sehr einfach, ohne Schlüssel, und in unserem Zimmer roch es etwas muffig. Der Onsen ist nett, aber relativ klein. Das typisch japanische Essen war reichlich. Es gab außerdem Getränkeautomaten im Haus.

4月頭の滞在
宿坊ということもあり、トイレが綺麗なのか和式トイレだとやだなと思っていましたが、とても清潔で真新しいトイレで安心して快適に過ごすことができました。畳に敷布団は懐かしい感覚でよかったですが枕が私的には合わなかったので欲を言えば低反発枕とかがあると嬉しいです。
夕食の精進料理も美味しかったのですが、外国人の友人が畳にお膳だと足が苦しい感じでした。畳にお膳というのは日本人的には落ち着くのですが外国人的には大変なところもあると思います。
朝のお勤めに参加できたのは良い思い出です。まだ観光客のいない美しいお寺で仏様と境内を満喫できたのは素晴らしかったです。

房間有點舊，公衆浴池只開放很短時間（4點半至9點），第二天早上不能洗澡及吹頭髮。
