    Ci tenevamo molto a soggiornare in un tempio a Koyasan. L'esperienza al Daien-in Temple ci ha fatto vivere appieno la sacralità del luogo. La cerimonia del mattino è stata molto emozionante, la stanza che dà sul giardino è bellissima, la cena e la colazione servite nella sala comune con gli altri ospiti sono ottime, la sala da bagno comune con la vasca di acqua calda ti ristora dopo una giornata ad esplorare il luoghi sacri di Koyasan. Abbiamo vissuto una magnifica esperienza. Grazie ai monaci che ci hanno ospitate e all'associazione che ci ha aiutato ad organizzare la nostra permanenza

    It was an amazing experience. As long as yoiu accepted the minimalist approach. This was not a four star hotel accomodation. I would guess tht the monks had fewer amenities, but it increased my awarness of a lifestyle. Up at 6AM to get to morning ceremony. then immediately to breakfast. Not much leisure. Living on their schedule, not mine was a challenge. But, this is what is signed on for, and it did challenge me. The food, vegatarian was amazing. Each dish had unique flavor and texture. The meals were well thought out. I not only appreciated them, but looked forward to the subtllety in each dish. A few days later at a four star hotel, I was served vegetarian meals which were quite boring in comparison. The stay was a challenge, but not overwhelming and I appreciated the experience.

    The place was very nice. The people of the temple are very friendly, kind and helpful. The ambience was very calm and nice as expected in a temple accommodation. The room and facilities were very clean. The dinner was very minimalist vegetarian in a positive way and very tasteful. I didn't have any breakfast as I wanted to use the time to spend in Okunion for an early walk to enjoy the sunrise ambience. Okunion is only 15 minutes walk. A bus stop is only 2 minutes walk from the temple. I would highly recommend this place for a stay in Koyasan.

    From Staff
