The food was excellent. The onsen was tranquil. The room was spacious and futons very comfortable. The english speaking gentleman (who worked w the temple) was knowledgeable, passionate and eager to answer questions. ##### Julia Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leilani 7 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The area around the property is so beautiful! I loved waking up in the morning & seeing the forest outside. My room was very clean and the front desk service very friendly. I really enjoyed the dinner & breakfast service (everything tasted amazing!~) and the morning meditation ceremony was memorable. Everyone at the temple are so kind and helpful. ##### Leilani Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark 29 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Florian 21 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We had a very nice room with private bathroom and view of the garden.

Please remember not to miss the morning ceremony! :) ##### Tsz Ho Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Subrato 12 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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! ##### Subrato Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### dirk 15 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice experience for a change, but not comfortable for older people. Hotel like a temple with monks serving meals on their exact times. All veggie Japanese style made with care. Halfboard overpriced. ##### dirk Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Guillermo 4 Mar 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities 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. ##### Guillermo Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bob 21 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Sayaka San was wonderful, friendly, attentive and professional. She became our Japanese grand daughter.😏😆 ##### Bob Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Belambra Clubs Arc 1800 - Hôtel Du Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bourg-Saint-Maurice-Hotels-BELAMBRA-CLUBS-ARC-1800-HOTEL-DU-GOLF.h46117736.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Marseille - Hotel Dieu by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marseille-Hotels-InterContinental-Marseille-Hotel-Dieu.h5094762.Hotel-Information) > > [The Valley Anglesey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Holyhead-Hotels-The-Valley-Anglesey.h35080247.Hotel-Information) > > [Zante Dolphin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Zakynthos-Hotels-Zante-Dolphin.h26682772.Hotel-Information) > > [Hill Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunfermline-Hotels-Hill-Park-Hotel.h22566703.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Loughborough](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Loughborough-Hotels.s50-0-d4680.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Parking in Leeds City Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leeds-City-Center-Leeds-Hotels-Hotel-With-Free-Parking.0-n6340976-0-thotelwithfreeparking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Merseyside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Merseyside.d6046269.Hotel-Destinations) > > [The Bantry Bay Aparthotel by Totalstay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Bantry-Bay-Suite-Hotel.h871446.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rose & Crown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Etchingham-Hotels-The-Rose-Crown.h20111790.Hotel-Information) > > [Chouchou Hôtel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Chouchou-Hotel.h1249.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Camp de Mar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Camp-De-Mar-Hotels.s50-0-d6035122.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Belambra Clubs Résidence Les Menuires - Le Hameau Des Airelles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Les-Belleville-Hotels-Belambra-Clubs-Les-Menuires-Residence-Le-Hameau-Des-Airelles.h1309050.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada Resort by Wyndham Side](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manavgat-Hotels-Ramada-Resort-By-Wyndham-Side.h9709403.Hotel-Information) > > [Apartments Stansted Airport Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stansted-Airport-Station-Apartments.d6022388-aaApartments.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Holiday Inn Dover by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dover-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Dover.h9772.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Suite Oia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Cave-Suite-Oia.h28888110.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Garden Lara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Antalya-Hotels-Lara-Family-Club-All-Inclusive.h5790493.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [British Airways Gatwick (LGW) to Punta Cana (PUJ) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/british-airways-from-gatwick-to-punta-cana-intl/ba/lgw/puj) > > [Flights from Lisbon District (LIS) to Rio de Janeiro (GIG)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lis/gig/lisbon-to-rio-de-janeiro) > > [Flights from Paisley (GLA) to Ostend (OST)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/gla/ost/glasgow-to-ostende) ### Cars > [Enterprise Car Rentals In Tenby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-Tenby.d182887-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Packages > [Italy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/theme-holidays/romantic-holidays/86/Italy) > > [Birzebbuga Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birzebbuga.d6234060.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Hamptonne Country Life Museum](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamptonne-Country-Life-Museum-St-Lawrence.d6078767.Attraction) > > [Kata Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kata-Beach-Karon.d6067908.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Armação de Pêra](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Armacao-De-Pera.dx6145130)
