Hotel Ito District dengan Tempat Letak Kereta

據説是鳥羽天皇皇后的御所，環境優美，硬件很新很乾凈。地理位置不錯，在中間位置，步行十分鐘可以去各大景點。公交車下來要走一小段上坡路。 訂的是帶衞生間的和式房，住的二樓房間，入門有一個小玄關和洗手枱，一個小衞生間。冬天的高野山很冷，開了空調，又開了暖氣，房間裏很暖和。 早晚餐精進料理非常豐盛，早課有師父帶領誦經上香，還有阿字觀冥想，如果要參加火供，需要去其他寺院預訂。用餐和早課都有專人來房間帶過去，服務非常貼心。下次等紅葉季再來。

The room was very spacious and traditional. The bathroom had a japanese bath which we appreciated very much. The monks were very welcoming and nice, they explained everything. We also attended the morning prayer at 7 am. Overall it was a great experience. The dinner and breakfast were delicious.

Als Hotel betrachtet, kann man den Aufenthalt als interessant und angenehm bezeichnen. Wer sich aber einen tieferen Einblick in den esoterischen bzw. Shingon-Buddhismus erwartet, wird enttäuscht sein. Natürlich sind die Abend/ Morgenrituale und das vegan Essen interessant bzw sogar spektakulär, aber es wird praktisch kaum etwas erklärt und es gibt auch keine Möglichkeit für Gespräche oder sonstigen Kontakt mit den Mönchen. Da die Anreise/ Abreise selbst aus/nach Osaka mindestens 3.5 Stunden dauert, sollte man unbedingt 2 Nächte in Koyasan einplanen, um die Sehenswürdigkeiten ohne Hetze besichtigen zu können.  Mein Eindruck war, dass der Aufenthalt primär zur Finanzierung der Tempel dient, aber nicht, um den Besuchern die Lehre des Shingon-Buddhismus bzw die Lebensweise der Mönche näher zu bringen. Für diesen kleinen Einblick würde ich nicht nochmals in so ein abgelegenes Gebiet reisen.

The room was located in a stunning and truly beautiful temple. The person who welcomed us was incredibly kind and, the next morning, gave us a full tour of the temple and its different areas. The room was a bit cold in January but amazing, and the public baths were not always very convenient, but the hot onsen at the end of the day, along with the friendliness and authentic atmosphere, made the experience truly wonderful.

A short walk from Ekoin, very hospitable and friendly service. Room is big and clean with heater provided. Public bath is big but there’s only one so have to reserve slot. They have fire goma ritual everyday for guests and also sutra writing for free provided. Very recommended temple stay!

It wasn't the most pleasant experience considering that the males n females had to share toilets and that some other rooms had private toilets n bath instead. And also the fact that the walls are super thin hence whomever is connected to your room if their loud or they don't like your voice volume than you might get kicked to the curb. It's a very frustrating experience for sure since it tests one's patience n ability to let go. It's training for the customers n monks alike. I met a Japanese friend here whom shared with me how rude the monks and the staff were to one another n I think that shows the quality of this place however we were pretty lucky as there was a male who spoke mandarin n a male who spoke English both quite well in this place n though the mandarin speaker was quite condescending towards the other monks, the English speaker was really nice n patient overall. He helped me out a lot since we couldn't communicate with the others n seemed to be the only customers that spoke English whom booked this place by ourselves, the others around seemed to have a guide n were usually in groups. It's a unique experience n I recommend just staying for one night or going to the other temples. I went for the ajikan meditation at eko in temple n the service n cleanliness was on another level for sure. The food here was also really simple. Also a must see are the tomb area n the walk to kobold daishi temple. As a sensitive person, I felt the overwhelming love n presence and the cleanse of my heart of this amazing soul over there. To me, that was worth it. Remember to clean yourself with the water out front before going in.... and of course to the amazing fateful friendship that occurred for us with the jap-********* couple we met. It was the next fav of mine after the time spent in nara visitor center. That was truly magickal n how I wished we stayed longer there. But all was good cause the way I planned this trip made it so that we would have this fateful encounter to the end of our trip.

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.
