Top Tenkawa Hotel Reviews

Koyasan Shukubo Soujiin

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay that will have you feeling like you've traveled to ancient Japan. Both the accommodations and the meals were very special and unique"

Amami Onsen Nanten-en

10/10 Excellent

"Superb place. Big pool and Onsen. Excellent food service and amenities. Small scenic town just be careful as not all trains from Osaka stop at this station."

Hotel Nara Sakurai No Sato

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful location, amazing hotel - the rooms were clean, well appointed - live the bathrooms setup - bed super comfortable. We ordered breakfast for the second night - yummy Japanese meal set. This was our favorite hotel in our stay, well appointed hope to return. You need a car because it is remote from public transport, plenty of free parking at the same level as hotel. The staff was wonderful! This place is well worth a journey!"

Koyasan Shukubo Fugenin

10/10 Excellent

"For an European, this was like visiting the ISS. Barefoot, tatami dinner, shared bath where i was alone, night curfew which felt like sleeping in a medieval fort, morning prayer and tatami breakfast again. Plus the abundance of history all around."

Koyasan Saizenin

Jokiin

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel, the monks attending are really nice, definitely go to the morning ceremony, it is worth it. This is near everything and very centric to all the landmarks nearby. The "beds" are pretty hard since its traditional, but its manageable for a night or two. Meals were really good, definitely don't skip them and take the chance to eat traditional monk meals. "
