The warm welcome from a Chinese Monk is beyond expectation. However, the temple is under construction, the experience definitely doesn't match the price.
From StaffThank you for sharing your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you had a warm welcome from the Chinese Monk. We sincerely apologize that the ongoing construction impacted your experience and did not meet your expectations for the price. We are working to improve our facilities and services and hope to welcome you back for a more satisfactory stay in the future.

This is my second time staying on Koya-san, and unlike the first time this was a disappointing experience. The accommodation was chosen for us by Shukubo Association, and I said yes to their recommendation because it advertised meditation, which we practice regularly However, we were not told the temple would be under construction and covered in plastic sheets, and noisy in the mornings, or that the meditation was not available. I do not mind that old buildings require construction, but I believe we should have been informed in advance. I appreciate that being hosts is not a primary concern for the staff as they are there to study and pray, but they treated us like an inconvenience. No hot water for tea, not enough rice for dinner, no questions to be asked, and they seemed to avoid us. The bath was dirty and the water not good quality, and the restrooms and bedroom all smelled like damp. For the cost of accommodation, this was not a good experience.
From StaffThank you for providing us with your detailed feedback. We deeply regret that your stay was unsatisfactory and fell short of the positive experience you anticipated. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the construction and the issues with the room's cleanliness, amenities, and the staff's attentiveness. But we want you to understand that temples in Koyasan are very old and they need to be periodically renovated. We value your patronage and are committed to addressing the concerns you've raised to ensure future guests have a much better experience. We appreciate you bringing these important details to our notice.

We stayed one night at sanbo-in temple and we had an absolute blast. Worth every penny. Tori, who we are grateful to, welcomed us in the best way with perfect english and warmth. explanations were delivered for all the do’s and don’ts of the temple, along with some more intimate chats and tips. The food was a true experience! don’t be afraid to leave the dinner hall hungry as food will definitively be enough, delivering a perfect balance of not so well known dishes and classic evergreens such as tempura. As for the room, we could not wish for a better one: spacious, airy, clean, it gave us a longed for break from a week long stay in Tokyo. Koyasan, especially the cemetery, is a special place to visit. We recommend
From StaffWe sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share your fantastic experience at Sanbo-in Temple. It's heartwarming to know that you had such a memorable stay and felt it was excellent value. We're thrilled that Tori's hospitality, clear explanations, and engaging conversations contributed to your enjoyment. We're also delighted that our culinary offerings provided a true experience, with a perfect blend of traditional and unique dishes. Your comments about the room's comfort and cleanliness are greatly valued. Thank you for recommending Koyasan; we're glad it's a special place for you.

Our stay was absolutely amazing, without a single doubt, the highlight of our trip to Japan. We can’t recommend spending time in Koyasan enough; it was truly the best part of our journey. Everything there was wonderful, and staying at Shojoshin-in was the perfect cherry on top. Everyone was so kind and helpful. The meals were simple yet delicious, and entirely vegetarian. The temple itself was breathtakingly beautiful, and the onsen with Koya's own water was a real treat. I want to emphasize again how incredibly welcoming everyone was, always eager to help and ensure we had a wonderful stay. Both the morning prayer and the fire ceremony were extraordinary experiences, deeply spiritual and unforgettable. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Truly, if you have the chance, don’t miss a stay in Koyasan, and above all, don’t miss staying at Shojoshin-in.
From StaffWe are deeply grateful for your incredibly positive feedback! It's heartwarming to know that your experience at Shojoshin-in exceeded your expectations and contributed so significantly to your journey in Koyasan. We're delighted you enjoyed the vegetarian meals, then bath, and the profound experiences of the morning prayer and fire ceremony. Thank you for highlighting the kindness and helpfulness of our team. We hope this memorable stay inspires you to return.
