Breakfast has neutral rating, not because it was worse than dinner, but the tastes were too strong for me in the morning and I had a hard time eating it except for the rice and delicious tea. Nevertheless I had an amazing stay thank you for having me.

This was an extaordinary and uplifting experience. The reception was warm and welcoming, as was the free tour of the monastery later. The room was traditional, with tatami matting, futons and a heater. I find it difficult as a westerner to get used to sitting on the floor, with no other furniture, but it would spoil the authenticity and ambiance it there were! The food was outstanding: beautifully presented and delicious. There is no western alternative, which is fine by me but the teenage boys at the next table spent a long time discussing how they were going to Family Mart or the service station for snacks. It's worth considering beforehand whether this is going to be problem for your family. I didn't use the bath, so I can't comment. All in all, this was probably the best experience of our trip to Japan.

We enjoyed our three days stay at Daien-In Temple and in Koyasan a lot. The hospitality was great, food was excellent and we felt very welcome.

Ho soggiornato per due notti . Mi è piaciuto il tempio perché in zona molto tranquilla . Il posto trasmette pace e riflessione . Ho apprezzato la cena e la colazione . L’aver assistito allá preghiera mattutina rende l’esperienza ancora più pregnante .

Staying at Hoon-in was the highlight of my trip. The staff were amazing, the place clean and cosy, and the food exceptional. They even had boards indicating what each ingredient was, which I found really helpful. The setting is beautiful, and I wish I stayed for longer. Thank you to everyone at Hoon-in and to the website for making this possible.
