Hotels near Kongobu-ji Temple, Koya

Lovely surroundings and the service is attentive and polite. The morning service is a great experience!

Very interesting and calm place to visit. Very comfortable rooms, and nice staff. I also had a conversation with monk, please, enjoy conversation, they can translate on your language.

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

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 temple stay is amazing. Vegetarian breakfast and dinner was great. The morning prayer and fire ritual was great to take part in. They also offered an afternoon mediation tutorial. There was a night tour for the cemetery, however I did not take part. It was a little concerning that the English tour was ¥1000 yen more than the Japanese tour. Overall I highly recommend this place.

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.

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.
