Hotels near Kongobu-ji Temple, Koya

The room is spacious, bright, clean and comfortable. The breakfast and dinner are very rich, and the environment is elegant and pleasant. In particular, the traditional Buddhist culture experience left a deep impression on us. A great stay!

Such a beautiful experience! The meditation & ceremonies were really lovely, staff were welcoming. Only critique is that it was very cold in the corridors- but they made such an effort elsewhere so it was okay e.g. heated blankets in bed, heated meditation carpet, air conditioning etc. Thank you again! Would definitely come back

The hotel has a parking lot and is in a good location. It is only 500 meters away from Kumgangsan Temple. It has public bathrooms. Shojin cuisine is delicious. There is a morning class at 6:30 in the morning. It is good to experience it.

Definitely interesting experience. Partly tourist tradition, partly religious. As a new, atypical experience in Japan, the meal ritual and the vegetarian cuisine itself were interesting. Participation in the morning Buddhist prayer was valuable. Comfortable nice leather slippers. Saving hot springs on a rainy day. The strict end of the day time was inconvenient for us: the front door closed at 9 pm, and we were not allowed to linger during our walk. Quiet time from 9 p.m.Baths close at 8 and 9 pm. Thanks for the experience!🙏

This was a super memorable experience and well worth the trip. You get an insight into Buddhist temple life, a tour of the temple, delicious vegetarian dinner and breakfast, plus there is a really nice public bath. The monks were very kind and welcoming.

There was everything that you expect from a temple stay. Breakfast and dinner were very good! Be aware that there will be no fire ceremony on morning, but only a pray

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!

The toilet and bath seemed to have been renovated, and unlike the atmosphere of the room, they were very modern and clean. I was very satisfied with being able to do morning services as is customary in a temple lodging.

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.
