Very welcoming to our 8yo twins! Lovely meal and it was special to be a part of the morning service (7am!) Kids were able to participate in the incense burning and prayer.

Special Stay
Very special place to stay. Morning prayer session is not to be missed. They have good air conditioning in the room we stayed in which was necessary due to the heat. Everything closes early in town and dinner is at 5pm.

Decent accommodations but poor food
The hotel is nice enough for the location, really enjoyed the Onsen. The location is close to center of town and attractions. We found the food to be much below expectations. We are used to vegetarian food so that wasn’t the issue, it was just very unappetizing. So don’t go here for the food but the accommodations are fine.

Good experience staying with monks in their ryokan with thre morning service. Nice environment, close to main temple area and comfortable rooms. Food was nice, were not vegetarians and westerners so didn't eat everything provided, but they give plenty of food. The staff were very helpful and obliging

We had stayed at another place up the road and had phenomenal service and food. While we were really looking forward to Saizenin, it fell short of expectations - especially in comparison to the other place. The staff was very transactional and almost dismissive. Wasn’t as warm and welcoming as we were hoping for. Overall, facilities were modern and in good condition though.

Staying with the monks
We had a wonderful room that included separate sleeping ( futons on floor) a sitting room and our own private toilet. We had ordered dinner which was delivered to our room. We did go to the 6:30 a.m. ceremony followed by breakfast. It was a delightful experience. The location was good and there was close parking. A great town to wander in!

客室内の洗面台に自動の水道蛇口と、通常であれば石鹸水が出るであろう蛇口のボタンがあり、そのボタンを押したところ、石鹸水ではなく、冷たい水が出てきたので、係員に尋ねたところ、「私にはわからない。多分壊れている。すぐには治らない」と言われた。 夕食の配膳時に別の係員に尋ねたら、「ボタンはうがい用の水です。飲まないで下さい」と言われました。部屋のどこにもそのような説明注意書もありません。また、スタッフの若い多分お坊さん達はすれ違っても挨拶もしません。宿坊の中では宿泊費の高い方だと思いますが、とても残念でした。

Wir haben den Aufenthalt mit den Mönchen sehr genossen. Die Gegend ist toll und lädt zum ausruhen und verweilen ein. Das vegane Essen war außergewöhnlich und liebevoll hergerichtet, die Meditationen morgens waren sehr interessant. Sehr zu empfehlen !

Koyasan - agosto 2019
Se a experiência do koyasan já é enriquecedora, a estadia aqui eleva a experiência a outro patamar. Atendimento muito bom, atenção aos detalhes para nos proporcionar uma boa experiência de estadia. Todas as refeições são preparadas atendendo aos costumes locais e a experiência da cerimónia matinal é muito interessante. O espaço é muito bonito
