Ryutakuzenji

Morning prayer at a 600 year old temple was sugoi!

The most amazing experience. Everyone was lovely, the room was perfect, the outdoor bath was so so wonderful. Dinner and breakfast was delicious, and the morning meditation wonderful. Comfortable, relaxing, clean. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Much more interesting place to stay than the average hotel, nice atmosphere.

The best place we have ever stayed, beautiful location, the most polite and helpful hosts, amazing food. The only regret we have is not upgrading to the better room - although our room was fantastic already! Highlight of our trip - Definitely would love to come back during sakura season. Thank you so much for having us ❤️❤️❤️

Quiet and clean. Very delicious Japanese style breakfast.

Wonderful lodging on the grounds of a Buddhist temple. The room was huge and very lovely. My back is still not used to sleeping in Japanese-style futons so my sleep was disrupted a bit. I ended up waking early enough to do the 7am zazen meditation at the temple next door and felt great to disconnect from everything for a while. The breakfast prepared was delicious (well, except for the natto) and even our 3 year old enjoyed it. My husband was amazed with the place as well and talked about wanting to come back again for a couple of days the next time he’s able to take time off. Two thumbs way up for this place!

If you are ever disappointed when you travel to a new place only to stay in a generic hotel room, then this is the place for you. You will be staying in a guest quarters connected to the house of the family that have been the caretakers of this temple for generations. Your main room is a tatami room with futon beds that you can put away or leave out during the day. You have your own bathroom and your guest quarters are down a hall from the family quarters so it feels very private and quiet. Our hosts were very nice and let us do our own thing if we wanted, but were generally available to answer questions or direct us to the nearest grocery store (you might want to bring snacks or stock up since the nearest grocery is a bit of a walk). One morning we joined our host for morning meditation and a tour of the temple and we enjoyed chatting with our hosts during our stay. You really feel like you are guests of the family (which in a way you are). The most memorable stay of our whole trip to Japan.

静かな環境と快適で清潔な設え オーナー夫妻の人柄 坐禅体験のユニークさ 以上が素晴らしかったです！

とてもユニークな宿泊体験でした

到着が遅くなってしまったが、丁寧に対応してくれました。

房舍很寬敞, 整潔, 寧靜. 擺設很精緻, 處處有驚喜. 早晚飯有獨立包廂, 外望小亭園, 很悠閒. 鄰近的瀧澤禅寺很值得參觀, 歷史悠久, 保養得非常好. 這裏要謝謝主持的安排, 讓我們有一次很棒的住宿經驗.(唯一要注意是房舍不近城市, 我們從伊香堡去, 車程大約30分鐘, 晚上要經過一些山路, 很黑.最好是日落前到達)

お寺ですので、非常に落ち着きと趣きのあるお宿でした。 住職さんもスタッフさんも非常に温かく対応いただき、疲れた体がとても癒される、心地いいお宿でした。朝の坐禅も自分自身を見直せるいい時間でした。

Very nice experience

チェックイン時に利用に関して丁寧な説明をいただけたので、安心して快適に過ごすことができました。 早朝に出発とお知らせしたら、早朝に食事を準備していただき感激でした。 夕食もとても美味しかったです。 早朝はとても静かで自然の音が聴こえてくる素晴らしい宿でした！

部屋はとても広くてキレイです。設備も完備しています。非常に素晴らしいです！

ゆったりと過ごすことができました。 気分を変えるにはとてもいいです。 冬は暖かい格好が必要です。

ゆっくりと静かな空間とても気に入りました。朝の座禅で非日常生活を満喫できました。また宿泊したいと思います。 食事も美味しくありがとうございました。

広くて清潔でした。

お部屋やお風呂等、とてもキレイでした。 テレビが置いてないのでテレビのない生活がとても新鮮で良かったです。 朝の座禅もとても良かったです。
