Ulasan Shojoshin-in Temple

Cool stay at a monastery in Koyasan! As far as I understand, Shojoshin-in is one of the larger temple lodgings in Koyasan. Our room had an amazing view (koi pond and forest) from the tea room. All our basic needs are met including amenities. They served authentic Japanese vegan meals; I particularly enjoyed the dinner as it had a large variety of small dishes. Keep in mind this is Japanese style lodging, where you have a shared bath with other guests.

An amazing experience The service was respectful and the fire ceremony & morning prayers were such a experience to be able to be a part of

We would have preferred a thicker tatami. Otherwise the place is really an adventure to remember. Dont miss the 4pm temple tour and 6:30am morning service.

The temple is well organised and staff are helpful, We experienced a quiet and tranquil time there especially in morning prayer and temple tour.

Fantastic place. But note u can’t shower in the morning

Very good travelling experience and traditional meal in japan temple.

amazing place! everything was perfect (dinner, breakfast, location, staff, room)! Highly recommended. If you can, stay for atleast two nights.

The hotel and venue exceeded all expectations

Room was clean and nice. Shared bathroom, which is a little inconvenient. Overall it's a great experience.

Tutto perfetto! Ho soggiornato qui per una notte il 18 ottobre. La posizione è ottima, è il tempio più vicino all’ingresso del cimitero (questo mi ha permetto di farci un giro notturno vista la vicinanza). Le stanze sono in stile giapponese e fornite di una stufetta eletti da se dovesse fare troppo freddo. Inoltre forniscono un kimono per dormire, e gli asciugamani. Il bagno era in comune, pulito. La vasca termale anche. I pasti vegetariani molto buoni e vari. Alle 6.30 del mattino è possibile seguire la preghiera. Ci sono dei monaci che sanno parlare inglese, molto d’aiuto! Rapporto qualità prezzo davvero vantaggioso!

非常滿意，還會再去

位置很方便， 早飯很好！ 廁所有點遠

Wonderful temple stay. The temple is next to the cemetery so very quiet. The traditional accommodations overlooked a beautiful garden. The food was terrific. I wish we stayed more than one night. Only comment, it's not clear/brought to your attention when you check in when tours of the temple itself are available, so we missed out on that, be sure to look at the schedule when you check in.

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!
