Temple Hotel Kannonin

It's a lovely place. Its so quiet, peaceful and serene. The dining area next to the garden is absolutely beautiful. The kitchen is well equipped and you practically don't need to leave the building with her right groceries. There's bicycles to use in the car park across the main gate. But even without it, it's only 20 mins walk to Kiryu station. There's a mega donki around there where you can get everything you need. Although there wasn't a regular check-in staff (of course as it's not a hotel), the monks were friendly and helpful when we had problems receiving our access code from *******. Overall it was a delight to stay here. Wake up at 6am to participate in the morning prayers. Do some sutra copying and calligraphy in mid morning. Soak in an outdoor tub mid noon. Chill out by the garden in the afternoon. Rinse and repeat, we wished we do this for longer. Our 3 nights felt way too short.
