Hotel terbaik di Nosegawa

毎年 避暑に行かせてもらっています。気温は昼でも28℃程度で昼も夜も涼しくて快適です。子供は川遊び（ホテルの横がすぐ川で，浅くて安全に遊べます）で楽しみ大人は涼しい気温を楽しみました。食べ物はアマゴ料理がおいしく，アマゴのあらい・唐揚げ・塩焼きがおすすめです（夜ご飯の時に別途注文することが可能です）。涼しいおかげでよく眠れて日頃の疲れも取れました。宿の人は親切で川遊び・花火にいろいろと便宜を図ってくれました。おかげさまで今年も楽しい夏休みがすごせました。ありがとうございました。

We made our way to Koyasan with our small group of 5 plus our guide, via a maze of trains, busy stations and platforms, a furnicular up the mountain and finally a bus to our temple stay. It was cold weather, even though it’s April. There were still a number of cherry trees blossoming- so pretty. The temple was attractive and comfortable ( if you count sleeping on the floor, sitting on the floor for meals comfortable!). Our room was heated but the rest of the temple was not so it was cool walking to the onsen and the meal room. Our room had the futon, pillows ( very uncomfortable), a low table, small TV, wifi, hanging space. Our evening meal and breakfast were traditional Japanese vegetarian and interesting food. We purchased sake for a very reasonable price with the evening meal. Beer was also available. The onsen was a good cultural experience ( and even better because I was there alone!) Our accommodation was very close to the Okunoin cemetery which is an absolute must see.

Pengalaman penginapan yang berbeza terutamanya. Dikelilingi oleh biara dan berada di resort Buddha, ia sangat mengagumkan. Beberapa siri aktiviti seperti meditasi dan nyanyian diatur di kuil. Ikut sami-sami di biara untuk melakukan amalan Buddha pada masa yang ditetapkan. Makanannya vegetarian, sangat ringan dan penuh. Pintu bilik tidak berkunci, tetapi terdapat peti besi di dalam bilik. Tandas awam dan tempat mandi awam agak mudah.

Abbiamo soggiornato per una notte in questo monastero sul monte Koya. Il soggiorno costa, i monaci non lo regalano ma ci può stare perché l’esperienza merita. Abbiamo seguito alle 13 la cerimonia del fuoco e poi la preghiera del mattino, tutto molto bello ed affascinante con i loro canti e le loro atmosfere. La stanza era tipica giapponese con il futon, dotata di stufetta elettrica. La colazione e la cena erano su base vegetariana, tipicamente giapponese. A me non è piaciuta ovviamente ma non mi lamento perché lo sapevo che sarei andato incontro a questo…del resto siamo in monastero

After spending two hours getting to the temple from Namba, it was refreshing to absorb the peace and tranquility of the place. The place is just a short walk up a slight slope from the bus stop where we got off. Check-in was smooth with good explanation on the place and the facilities. Place was spotless and they ensured that by helping to clean the wheels of our luggage. Room is of ample size for four of us in a traditional setting sleeping on tatami mats. A toilet is attached to my room but the bathing facilities is a sharing facility which was clean and spacious. Dinner and breakfast were superb vegetarian meals. We also had a great experience with the morning prayers which also taught us a meditation method. This place is within easy walking distance to the small town center with restaurants for lunch. Bus schedule to other places are posted on the bus stops. Overall, we had a peaceful stay here which was a good break from the hustle of the big cities.

二家族の高野山へのお参り旅行でした。一家族は当日東京からの参加で、なおかつその中の一人は電車の事故で午後まで動けない状態。到着が夜の9時過ぎになってしまいました。食事は無理でしたが、お風呂は時間外になってしまったにもかかわらず使わせていただけました。ほんとにありがたかったです、翌朝のおつとめは、座禅を経験させてもらえると思っていましたが、残念ながらお参りと本堂の案内でした。 夜の廊下があまりにも暗いので、通り道だけは明るくしてほしかったです。扇風機も各部屋にお願いしたいです。

Good temple lodging. We got what we came for: austere room with sleeping mats, excellent buddhist opulent meals, beautiful temple building, good ryokan, great location. There is no hot water in the room or washing area, but that is ok. The room had a toilet, normal Japanese electric bidet type.

We didn’t expect it’s not a hostel but Buddhist temple) it was a nice experience to live here. It’s very clean inside and rooms look like typical Japanese minkas inside. The place is very picturesque around and it’s easy to get there.

As an overall experience this was 5/5. The room was spacious with both AC and a kerosene heater (which we needed) as it was freezing. Safe in the room as they are not able to be locked. The staff are very attentive and the facilities are very clean. Dinner was vegetarian and buffet style which was served in your room. It was great to experience all of the Japanese foods. Futon mattresses were made on the floor by the staff and had warm doonas and blankets. Shared bathroom was a bit of an issue if you had to get up at night and walk to the bathroom in the cold. The monk who did the morning prayers was such a warm person making us feel very welcomed. Loved the chanting, ritual and symbols used the prayer ceremony. This was followed by a buffet breakfast served in the community dining room. They accommodated for the older ones of us with chairs if you could not sit on the floor to eat breakfast. Again, vegetarian traditional Japanese food. The Zen garden was peaceful but not attended to like some of the other gardens we had seen. A definite bucket list experience.
