Great place with great food. Please remember not to miss the morning ceremony! :)

非常好的寺廟體驗，環境高級乾淨，酒店還免費幫我會升級獨立廁所和園境的房間，澡堂偏小，膳食有進步空間，不是每一道菜都好食，而且份量不多，整體還是不錯.。6月份還可在日式園林看到紅葉，真係喜出望外

Bellisima esperienza di una notte a Koyasan!

Esperienza super positiva, ottima posizione e personale super cortese! Consiglio l'escursione serale per visitare il complesso di templi! Ottimo, lo consiglio a tutti

Cannot say enough good things about this monastery. The food was top notch. So healthy and delicious. Our best meals in Japan (vegan food that will amaze you- and we are not even vegan)! The staff is so kind and welcoming. Do not miss the chanting ceremony in the morning. Loved the room with its traditional Japanese experience and garden view. Perfect location across the street from the temple complex. Don’t miss walking around it at night. Breathtakingly beautiful.

Mixes comfort with Japanese style. The staff very caring and the morning ceremony fill Buddhist gratuito al morning chanting. The food looks like work of art, though the tasting is complex and, although we are vegetarian, it was something very different.

Very expensive for a night stay and meager services/food offered

Very nice facility inside a temple. Neck high quality Japanese food for dinner.

Two wonderful nights at Soujiin, Koyasan. Beautiful property in centre of town with an authentic traditional Japanese experience. Meals are traditional Japanese, & are all vegetarian. Highly recommended!!

Our stay at Sojiin was truly the most wonderful experience. We stayed for two nights with our 10-year-old son, hoping to gain a deeper understanding of life in a Buddhist temple—and it exceeded our expectations. We attended the morning prayer ceremony at 6am, which was a peaceful and moving way to start the day. In the afternoons, we joined a meditation session led by Patrick, and also took part in his insightful evening walk around the main temple complex. Patrick was outstanding—warm, humorous, and thought-provoking. He encouraged us to reflect deeply on aspects of our own lives, and made the experience accessible and engaging for all ages. Our son enjoyed it so much he insisted on attending a second session. The Buddhist vegan cuisine was superb—beautifully prepared, nourishing, and surprisingly varied. Each meal felt like an extension of the temple’s peaceful philosophy. The entire sacred area of Koyasan is fascinating, rich in history and spiritual meaning. We left feeling inspired, reflective, and incredibly grateful for our time at Sojiin.

Ein muss, wenn man in Japan ist. Eine Nacht war für uns völlig ausreichend. Man kann auch an der morgendlichen Zeremonie (06:00 Uhr - 07:00 Uhr teilnehmen. Anschliessend wird man noch durch den Tempel geführt und es wird einiges über den Glauben erzählt. Es war wirklich spannend.

This property is a monastery and has traditional Japanese style rooms. The futons were quite comfortable. Our room had a toilet and sink, but no shower or bath. There is an Onsen, however we did not use it. The meals were very good. It was a great experience overall. They do have a 9pm curfew. Koya is very quiet at night. There is a Family Mart in town, close to the hotel.

Peaceful, super comfortable, and one of the best meals I’ve ever had!

Sehr guter Service, freundliches Personal und ruhige Lage. Das japanische Essen war äußerst schmackhaft und wunderschön angerichtet.

I would say this stay came off as a tourist trap. The monks were also not very nice. We were told to leave early from the morning ceremony because it had become “Japanese only”… paid a lot of money to be told you had to leave. There was no translator or someone to inform us about the ceremony like we had been told.

Excellent stay :)

Amazing service, best vegan food I’ve ever had, very flavourful. Definitely a unique experience I’d recommend staying in a temple lodging like this at least once.

First time staying in a Skukubo in Japan. The traditional Japanese ryokan style of the Sojin was great. Including tatami matts and sliding doors. The staff and monk service was very accomodating. They provided extra water when I asked for it, and made my bed while I was having dinner. Expecially the dining experience of the Buddhist monks cooking and serving their meals of Shojin Ryori. These were the best meals I have ever had!

Everything was great

Prachtige royakan met heerlijke vegan dinners en ontbijt. Meer uitleg en voor meditatie best handig en beter aangeven dat check in voor 17 uur moet zijn.
