Had a good one night stay here. I was worried it wouldn’t be enough time to see everything i wanted too, but it turned out to be perfect. You can drop off your luggage before and after you check in which is really nice. Highlights for me were the public bath, and morning ceremony.

Perfect!
My family had a truly amazing stay here. One of the best experiences of our trip through Japan. The temple and surrounding area is beautiful. The staff spoke excellent English and the vegetarian food was great. Get up for the morning prayers if you can.

An amazing experience once in a life time we got the private room with garden view. Everything about the place is magical.
An enriching experience, one that I will never forget. The room was amazing, the setting was peaceful and the staff were lovely. I would recommend this temple stay to anyone who wants to reset and be at peace.

We greatly appreciated the directions and communication from Jokiin to assist us getting there from Kyoto. The grounds were lovely but small. Room was adequate with more than we expected. We had use of the shared bathrooms but no one else was using them so basically had our own. Enjoyed the heated blanket table and the bedding provided was also very warm. The dinner and breakfast were very different for us but we tried everything. Closeby to local sights too and public transport was easy. Quite a few food options around if the vegan menu isn't what you're after though. Very lovely neighbourhood.
