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! ##### Subrato Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philip 7 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Philip Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### heather 19 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Incredible experience to stay at a shrine and be served excellent vegan food and join in prayers and meditation the following mornjng ##### heather Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel 3 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent stay :) ##### Daniel Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Prasad 1 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Very expensive for a night stay and meager services/food offered ##### Prasad Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel 18 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Two wonderful nights at Soujiin, Koyasan.

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. ##### Alexandra Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Daniel 7 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything was great ##### Daniel Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Satah 31 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities I really enjoyed the morning ceremony and opportunity to learn more of the buddhist culture.
