Hotels near Kuon-ji Temple, Minobu

Wonderful stay at this temple, outside of time. My room was spacious and very beautiful, right next to the prayer room of the temple. The futon was comfortable and the food really good both at dinner and breakfast. The priest welcomed me and walked me to the tomb of the master of Minobu, and also helped me to explain how to participate in the morning prayers at the main hall. I wish I could have stayed there for a few days.

Had a fantastic time at the temple, grateful for all the guidance and invitations to the prayers. Absolutely delicious breakfast and dinner, simply cannot recommend it enough

Clean, spacious, excellent service with big smiles and open heart, the best food at diner and breakfast, very interesting temple and a nice tour at it. The team made their best to make us comfortable, happy and satisfied even on Japanese standards. Nice simple Onsen.

The location. Beyond compare!

The hotel was welcoming from the first moment to the last. We have been traveling in Japan for three months, and never had this level of care by the owner, who is personally welcoming you and saying goodbye. The room had beautiful views on Mt. Fuji. We enjoyed the outside onsen.

Actually booked this place by accident. I thought i had booked Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan. When i showed up to the hotel I thought i had booked, it was more elegant, and honestly more uppity than i was expecting. I sensed they were put off by my excited kids, and knew we'd be walking on eggshells the whole time. So i wasnt super upset when we learned I had accidentally booked another place 18 km away! I had been corresponding with the hotel operator by email, who seemed pleasant enough, but I hadn't the first clue what kind of place i had actually booked. So we were beyond excited when we arrived to find, what to my foreign eyes seemed like an absolutely authentic traditional japanese home. It looked like a movie set. The owner showed us around the property, then he went home. The kids and I high-fived! We got the traditional setting we had wanted, but we could relax alone on a mountainside. The setting is a tad rustic. I loved that about the place. Heating is by woodburning stove that you feed yourself (electric space heaters there as well). There is a full kitchen there, and what we didnt know ahead of time, is that there is primitive outdoor grilling/cooking facilities. That made a few confusing exchanges with the property operator suddenly make sense. Although it sounded in other reviews that possibly the property owner provided meat to be grilled, we had been asked to bring our own food. We didnt understand that that meant grillable items. But anyway, we loved the place. It would be perfect for a large group of 7, possibly more, to stay for more than one day and get big preplanned meals going on the woodfired grill.
