ci è piaciuto molto essere vostri ospiti, esperienza ottima per il contesto. posto semplice curato e pulito. buona la cena e la colazione vegetariana. è stato molto suggestivo partecipare al rito del mattino e visitare il tempio e le sue stanze. l'unica cosa è che quando abbiamo chiesto di avere un asciugamano per fare l'onsen ci hanno detto che la nostra prenotazione non prevedeva la fornitura dell'asciugamano ma quando noi abbiamo prenotato non c'era l'opzione di scegliere altrimenti avrei scelto sicuramente con la dotazione dell'asciugamano. poi abbiamo chiesto di averlo e pagarlo lì direttamente ma ci hanno detto che non era possibile. grazie comunque per l'esperienza

Good location and fantastic experience. Especially with the morning ceremony. Take note that this is a temple lodging and there will be minimum customer service provided. Public bath closes at 9pm, so for guests attending the night tour at the cemetry, there will not be enough time to use after the tour is finished.

We were two couples who stayed at the Daienin temple: my partner and I and our two guests. Overall, we were satisfied with the experience. We especially appreciated the care taken for one of us, who has some food allergies. The food was sufficient and well prepared. The rooms were spacious but a bit too warm for us. We knew that baths and toilets would be communal. In and of themselves, they were sufficient but basic. The communal bath that seats up to six at once seemed small, but because it did not fill up while we used it, we found it acceptable. The priest who performed the morning ceremony made it a good experience for all of us.

On the main road, so very easy to reach by bus and centrally located mid-way between the temples and the cemetry. Their curfew is not onerous, so you can get to the cemetry after dark. There is no access to the garden and the facilities are a little 'tired'. The food and welcome are adequate.

The younger monk who checked us in was quite rude and disrespectful. We did not feel welcome upon arrival. He was aggressive about us wearing shoes even after we understood him and were in the process of taking them off. He spoke no English so we had to use a translator on our phones the entire time and communication was difficult. I’ve stayed in monasteries, ashrams, and other temples before, and the service here was unfortunately the worst. I did appreciate he was willing to set up another bed in my room to accommodate a friend moving from another room. The food was delicious. The chanting was divine. The place was clean. Most everything apart from the service was wonderful.

Fantastic experience. The temple and the room are very quiet, clean and pleasant. It was great to be able to attend a traditional ceremony in the morning. Vegetarian menus were very good, healthy and nutritious. Thank you very much for your welcome.
