Stasiun Kii-Hosokawa × Kepuasan pelanggan yang tinggi di Hotel·penginapan gaya Jepang

The hospitality felt more like a luxury Ryokan than a temple lodging. Our Room was upgraded to a special suite, and we were able to relax in the spacious “Hojo” Room overlooking an expansive garden. The shojin-ryori cuisine was beautifully presented and delicious throughout. After dinner, we took a short walk (about 3 minutes) to Danjo Garan. With bonfires lit and the area illuminated, we caught a glimpse of Kobo Daishi’s mandala world through sights such as Konpon Daito, Saito Pagoda, and Kondo Hall. The next morning, we joined the morning service from 6:00 a.m., which felt truly solemn and moving. The Dharma talk by Archbishop Miyata explained Buddhism from a global perspective with humor, making it easy to understand. I strongly feel that Koyasan is best experienced with an overnight stay.

Enjoy unlimited views of Nankai Electric Railway trains from a guest room built inside the station building. That said, trains are less frequent than in the city, so it’s quiet. There’s nothing around the station, and it’s also separated from the other guest room, ensuring peace and silence. Perfect for getting away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Please bring your own food and drinks.

The best part was the bath. It was clean, hygienic, and warmed me to the core. Was it an onsen? Natural spring water? It didn’t feel like ordinary water. Also, the food was excellent. The tableware was beautiful. I stayed with my elderly mother, and the staff kindly assisted us during the morning service. I’ve stayed at many accommodations before, but I truly loved this one. This time it was a family trip, but next time I’d like to invite friends from other prefectures and visit again!

I stayed on a weekday in January. Perhaps because there were few guests, it was wonderfully quiet amid the falling snow, and I was able to fully enjoy this Accommodation. Although it is not a Hotel so I did not have high expectations for the Room, I was kindly upgraded and stayed in a very nice Room. Everyone was pleasant and welcoming, and the meals suited us perfectly as a middle-aged couple. The main hall has an amazing atmosphere and is a must-see. Jokoin’s location is also excellent, making our visit to Mount Koya truly satisfying. Thank you very much.

The Room with a garden was fully equipped with a toilet and more than exceeded my expectations. The delicious Buddhist vegetarian cuisine and all the experiences were completely satisfying. I was surprised that there were more international guests than I expected.

This was my first time staying at a temple Accommodation, and it was comfortable with no inconveniences. The vegan meals were also very delicious (especially the sesame tofu). The Room was warm even in winter, and the bath warmed me up well; the changing area was warm too (I would appreciate signage for international guests asking them not to bring hair or towels into the bath). The morning service was easy to join, not too long, and never boring. Being shown the Buddha’s relics left a strong impression on me and made me feel the history. It would be even better if there were an opportunity to try zazen meditation.

I recommend staying multiple nights. Since it’s a historic building, I was a little nervous at first, but after a few nights I really came to appreciate its charm. The garden is beautifully maintained and the view is lovely. The bath, washroom, and toilets are all new and very clean. Each meal came with a full wooden rice tub of rice, and the wonderful aroma and delicious taste made me exclaim out loud. Every side dish was also delicious. Even the ganmodoki was so good it made me blurt out how tasty it was. I was able to stay solo at a reasonable price and truly relax. Thank you very much.

I chose to stay at Kongobu Sanmaiin because (1) it is temple lodging at the UNESCO World Heritage site Kongobu Sanmaiin, (2) it is conveniently located for visiting Danjo Garan, Kongobuji Temple, Reihokan Museum, Okunoin, and other sites, and (3) it offers a Japanese-style room with a private toilet. The shojin-ryori cuisine was more satisfying in both quality and quantity than I had expected. Being able to join the morning service made this trip especially meaningful.

It was my first time staying at this accommodation, and the moment I entered the room, I was amazed by its luxury, cleanliness, and comfort. It felt like staying at a luxurious ryokan, and my friend and I couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!" True to its name, the VIP room was exceptional. The staff at the reception were very polite, and we enjoyed a relaxing dinner in the room. The bath was also spacious and comfortable. The morning tour of Danjo Garan was accompanied by clear and detailed explanations, allowing us to learn more about Mount Koya and making it an enjoyable and meaningful experience. I was able to spend a relaxing time with my high school friend after a long time and fully enjoy Mount Koya, making it a truly happy time.

My long-held wish to visit Mount Koya finally came true for the first time, and thanks to being able to stay at Ekoin, it became an even more memorable experience. Starting with Ajikan meditation, I was able to do everything I had hoped for—sutra copying, morning prayers, the Goma fire ritual, and shojin ryori—making these two days truly precious. Thank you very much.

This was my first shukubo stay, and I experienced it solo. It was a slightly pricey plan, but the room was spacious, clean, and comfortable with a private toilet. There was even a TV—it felt like a regular ryokan. The door only had an inside lock, but there was a safety deposit box, so I didn’t worry when taking a bath. The layout felt like a maze, and I got lost several times (with an awkward smile). I upgraded the shojin-ryori meal plan and ended up completely full—despite being vegetarian cuisine, I somehow gained weight. But it was delicious. At night, some women in the next room (probably around my age) were laughing and talking quite loudly for a long time, and everything carried through, but that’s to be expected at a shukubo. The hot spring bath was also very relaxing. My first time in Mt. Koya—I was surprised by how many international visitors there were.

Conveniently located near Kongobu-ji Temple The room was just the right size for three people The toilet and wash area were spacious and very clean The large public bath was a comfortable size as well It’s not a hot spring, but the water comes from Mt. Koya, so when we woke up in the morning, our skin and hair felt glossy and refreshed Although it’s a temple lodging, the room had a lock, which made us feel secure It was very quiet at night, and the buckwheat-husk pillow helped us sleep soundly At check-out, we simply placed the key in a box and left There was no staff at reception, but that pleasantly hands-off atmosphere felt comfortable We were also able to join the morning prayers—thank you so much This is a temple lodging we would love to stay at again next time

The vegetarian Buddhist dinner had many dishes and was very delicious. The morning service was solemn and gave me a refreshing, uplifting moment. Breakfast was also delicious. I’m glad we could enjoy both dinner and breakfast in the Room. It was convenient to have souvenir shops nearby, and it was about a 15-minute walk to Kongobu-ji Temple. Thank you very much.
