高野山 宿坊 恵光院 -Koyasan Syukubo Ekoin Temple- 3 stars

Koyasan

Rooms feature tatami-mat flooring, comfortable futon bedding and paper sliding screens. They are fitted with an LCD TV and a safe. Bathroom facilities are shared, and the public baths are open 16:00-22:00 and 06:00-09:00 daily. This was a memorable stay. From the train/ cable car journey from Osaka to the temple accomodation it was fautless. We enjoyed the onsen, the lounge areas overlooking gardens and water features. The food served in your room was exceptional vegan fare, and very special to be part of the morning service followed by the fire ritual complete with taiko drums.

The monks were very welcoming and professional. I liked how the temple is not commercial at all, and feels like a very local experience. The rooms are big and comfortable. As a solo female traveller I overall felt safe. The meals (dinner and breakfast) are typical Japanese vegetarian courses, served in very beautiful rooms. The service in the early morning was very interesting and insightful. I appreciated that there were both Japanese visitors and foreign visitors and the monks gave us an explanation in English.
