Hotel terbaik di Kudoyama

整個旅館當天只有我一個人使用。一個人的體驗真的超級棒。晚上店長爺爺貌似沒有住在旅館內而是直接回家了。房間內沒有廁所和浴室，旅館內有公用的。

ホテル46（ほてるしろ）は、和歌山県橋本市高野口町伏原（わかやまけんはしもとしこうやぐちちょうふしはら）にあるビジネスホテルだ。 2022年1月2日、この日は慈尊院に参拝した。 そこから車で、ホテル46にやってきた。ビジネスホテルというよりアパートといった外観だ（苦笑）駐車場はとても広い。館内は靴を脱いで下駄箱に入れるシステム。チェックイン時間より少し早かったが、電話するとチェックインを早めてくれてありがたい。 今回は1階一番奥の5号室だ。ツインルームだ。カードを差し込まないと電気が点かないのに、差し込んでいないおばあ。早くやってよ。部屋の鍵が抜けないおばあ。電気を点けても部屋はすごく暗い。トイレは温水便座。風呂はユニットバスだが、まあまあ広い。部屋が暗いと思ったら、調光できる照明で照度を落としていたようだ。ヘヤードライヤーもある。湯沸かしとテレビ。冷蔵庫。残念ながらコップが用意されていなくて、うがい用の紙コップしかない。wifiは爆速で、ありがたい。ベッドの枕元に2口のコンセントがあるのは、嬉しい。 素泊まりプランなので、夕食はコンビニ飯。俺は「浪速の肉吸い鍋」にした。電子レンジで爆発している（苦笑）ツレはカレー。いつもおいしいセブンイレブンとは思えない、まずいカレーだと文句を言っている。わかめサラダ。ベッドの寝心地はとてもよかった。朝食は、セブンイレブンで買ってきたパン。牛乳とフルーツ。チェックアウトし、先に進んだ。

Room is pretty standard Japanese business hotel and has everything you need for a comfortable stay; even though this hotel has a public onsen, it was nice to have a shower tub in my room. Location is not the closest to the city's train/bus stations, but the easy 20 minute walk is still manageable; bonus points for the location due to the value-oriented restaurants and supermarket close by. Lots of fried food for breakfast, but I appreciated the western coffee and pastries. Unlike most other hotels in the region, this hotel's staff speaks English, and are extremely helpful and professional; I cannot thank them enough for producing a bicycle for me to explore the surrounding interesting region.

英文友善。多數外國人入住。帶浴室與衞生間的房間無可挑剔。酒店推薦日式按摩非常不一般。早晚餐份量對一般女生來説適合。早晚冥想沒有英文/日文底子就是感受一下環境。離主要街道稍微要走15分鐘。酒店有付費代寄行李服務，方便需要更多徒步到下一站的人。

The temple is beautiful, and the room is super nice and spacious. There is also a beautiful garden. I was expecting some additional amenities and/or interactions with the monks to have a better experience, but there is nothing related to this. I have the impression there are temples around the area that are much better on this regards and this could contribute a lot to the overall experience. If you want to have dinner and/or breakfast please make reservation at least one day before check-in and make sure this is accepted by the property, otherwise you won’t be able to have dinner/breakfast if you request this during check-in. The morning ceremony was ok, but there is no minimum explanation at the beginning or end (at least in English) which could have been nice. Also, the room is extremely cold, so make sure you bring enough clothes to it. The onsen is a nice addition but nothing spectacular. Overall, it is ok but it could be improved a lot. There are some lessons you can take part of, but I joined the cemetery tour organized by another temple, so I don’t know if they were good. I have the impression that in Eko-in temple they were giving the guests more services as meditation sessions and this tour and additional explanations in English. Curfew is at 9 pm.

Nous sommes un couple et c’était la 3 eme fois que nous venions à koyasan. Nous connaissons bien cette expérience immersive chez les moines . Nous avons été super bien accueilli déjà avant l’heure du Check in. Ils ont mis nos bagages de côté et sommes parti visiter le cimetière. En revenant en fin de journée, des apprentis moines nous ont accueilli avec un immense sourire et avec humour presque. Ils nous ont servi du thé et des okakis (crackers) le temps de faire le Check in. La chambre était traditionnelle, tatamis et futon avec toilette privative toto et lavabo. (Ce n’est pas toujours privatif dans d’autre ou les toilettes sont communes). C’était beau et propre. Un mini frigo. Des bouteilles d’eau et du thé à disposition avec bouilloire. La douche et le bain (sento), super propre et chaud, c’était super agréable de pouvoir se baigner au calme après une grosse journée. Nous sommes tatoués et n’avons pas vu de restrictions à ce sujet. D’ailleurs il n’y avait personne en même temps que moi ou mon fiancé donc c’est comme si c’était privé ! Repas à 5:30 pm, végétarien et délicieux alors que nous adorons la viande, là on s’en passe. Service impeccable. Cérémonie du matin où mon fiancé est allé, superbe expérience comme d’habitude et les moines étaient à disposition pour les questions. Petit déjeuner à 7:30 am. Aussi bon que la veille ! Départ agréable rien à dire, nous repartons avec un super souvenir de cet endroit. Nous recommandons Soji-inn.

We booked a temple stay at Shojoshin-in directly through their website as this was our first choice and we had heard that other Japanese Temple Stay sites give you one of three choices. The Japanese style accommodations are very authentic -in original buildings with lots of wood, tatami, and a beautiful garden view from the rooms. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, the shared toilets very clean and the private onsen was very appreciated. The multi-course dinner and breakfasts which we had in a private room were very tasty and beautifully presented. We loved the proximity to Okunoin cemetery and visited there at night and the next day. Some of us also attended the prayer service in the morning and were able to talk with the monks and receive a short tour after the ceremony. We had always wanted to experience an authentic temple stay in Koya-san and Shojoshin-in was perfect for us. If you are looking for a more commercial, westernized experience, there are other good temples which cater to these tourists. However, if you want to experience an authentic Japanese temple stay, Shojoshin-in is the place!
