Hotel berhampiran JR Kii-Yamada station, Hashimoto

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

This is truly an amazing experience, we slept on comfy futon beds on tatami mats and shared the bathroom amenities with other guests which wasn’t a problem as there were plenty. The onsen in the ladies shower room was lovely and relaxing. At 7am we attended morning devotions with the monks and afterwards were served a vegan breakfast. As we had not booked for dinner we brought our own vegetarian food with us as we were advised that eating places closed early and the temple gate was closed at 9pm. We bought the Koyasan World Heritage Ticket which covers the rail round trip from Nankai Namba and two days of free rides on the local Koyasan hop on hop off bus. An experience not to be missed.

持明院有900多年歷史了，可宿坊的房間不少。房間設施簡單了些，公用衞浴，早晚餐都會送到房間用，挺好吃的。冬季房間挺暖和的。內庭有座美麗的花園，一層面對花園的房間景觀不要太美好，可惜我們的在二層。在寺院一條廊道盡頭的上方意外地看到趙樸初會長1985年來日出席空海入定1150年紀念活動時留下的詩作。

Standard Japanese business hotel, albeit with an onsen and newer than most. Breakfast is adequate, with western coffee on offer. Location is not central, but within 10-15 minutes walking distance to Shimo-Isaka station, restaurants, and a supermarket. Not exactly geared towards non-Japanese travelers, since the staff hardly speaks English and the hotel information given is only in Japanese. Extremely satisfied with it considering the affordable room rate.

駅から徒歩２分とアクセス良好。周囲に食事処が多く、コンビニもあり便利。新しいホテルで非常に綺麗。フロントスタッフの対応も素晴らしい。

翌日吉野山に早朝から用事がある為このホテルに宿泊。ロビーは9階にあり、客室は5-9階とちょっと変則な構成。部屋はとても綺麗で清潔である。客室の窓は大きなハメ*しで周りに高いビルがない為眺望がとても良い。10階のお風呂にも同じことが言える。東側の眺めが最高である。雨天の時に露天風呂には屋根がない為入りにくいか？ 朝食は種類がとても豊富。西側に大きなハメ*しの窓があり良い眺めを食べながら食事ができる。精算がない場合はフロントによる必要はない。奈良県南部旅行にはとても使い勝手が良いホテルである。 周辺に居酒屋は沢山あるが夜開いているスーパーはないので注意。

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.

I cannot believe I didn’t make a review for this amazing ryokan!!!! Short and sweet version: my family is from USA and my now husband’s family is from Osaka. We decided to get married in Japan last Autumn 2019 and since this was the first time our extended family would be meeting each other, why not be relaxed and have a cultural experience at a historic ryokan together?? When we checked it out in Summer 2019 I just knew this was the place within 5 minutes of being there! This ryokan is so special; built in early 1900s by famous architect who also designed Tokyo Station. The food was fantastic (not toooooo exotic haha) and the Annex building where we (just me and husband) stayed + held our wedding ceremony and reception was perfect for 20 person group. My family enjoyed their rooms within the main building too. There is also an English gent named Gary who is the most delightful and helpful guy! The only open air onsen is within the Annex building so if it is occupied you cannot use - only can use the inside ones. Omg the bathroom in the Annex building is heavenly I must say! A lot of the rooms inside can be partitioned which was great for snoring people or kids to have own privacy area. A local train is within walking distance. Highly recommend going to Mt Koya too if you stay here. Cannot wait to come back here. Will probably splurge on the Annex room again even if it’s just 2 of us. Interested to stay in summertime to use their outdoor swimming pool and try their summertime menu! Note: we used a local business for our wedding event planning and Nanten-en was merely the venue + catering. If you have questions feel free to drop me a line though!!!!

Book this hotel as my flight is in the early morning. The room is small but good enough for one night stay. The is a public bath in the hotel and is quite crowded when I went. The hairdryer in female bath is dyson

최고의 가성비 후회하지 않을 선택 공동욕실이 불편한거 외엔 완벽하다 방은 정말 넓고 필요한 물품들도 다 구비되어있다.
