A unique experience to stay in a temple. A bit isolated, but worth staying the night. We also did the sutra Writing session and just wandering around the property and garden was amazing.

Hotel location is near River and mountain so it is very peaceful and quiet. The bedroom is Japanese style and the common area so big with full amenities. The toilet was inside room but the bathroom separate outside to the room. Host cannot speak English but they appreciate to help and guide you. The Breakfast is made by host, it was delicious and varieties. We spend 3 day and hope to come again. We recommend to use personal car.

Spacious, clean, owner was very friendly!

We had a group of 5 people and stayed in the Deluxe family room. Everything was clean and prepared for our arrival and the staff showed us around all of the facilities and explained everything to us in English as we did not speak much Japanese, Not all of the staff spoke English, however anytime we had a query that required it they would always help us to speak with someone who did which was extremely helpful. The room itself was extremely spacious and came with 2 large beds and 3 tatami beds that were setup for us when we went for dinner. The room had all of the amenities that you could need and also gave each person a yukata and sandals that could be worn around the entire site. The balcony overlooks the bay and other areas on the island and is very beautiful, particularly at sunrise and sunset. The food for both dinner and breakfast was exceptional. The staff were extremely attentive and explained each of the courses to us in English and were always on hand for even the smallest request. There is a fantastic walk on the top of the island that is accessible via the main lift and is a brilliant spot for photographs or just to relax in the quiet although the staff explained that it is closed when it is dark so make sure not to miss out on it if you are interested. The site has both indoor and outdoor Onsen's which are rotated between Men and Women each day. These were extremely well kept and have all of the necessities for showering beforehand etc. These were absolutely the highlight of the accommodation and I would thoroughly recommend that everyone uses them at least once during their stay. The boats to and from the mainland can be arranged with staff up to every 15 minutes and they can also arrange a free taxi shuttle service from the dock to the train station nearby I would also just like to mention about how exceptional all of the staff were. We felt welcome from the moment we set foot on the boat to the moment we stepped back off it.

100 years old family home with a beautiful Japanese garden, 2 minutes walk to a quiet beach. The bikes to get around and to the train station. The house can get cold at night but there are heating options and the futons were warm and comfy. Drinking tea while watching the garden was perfect

We would like to come again and stay longer:) The staff is very friendly.
