Park Yeri Olan Ito District Otelleri

"Bu, bu seyahatteki yedi konaklama yeri arasında en düşük puanlı olanıydı. Beklentilerim çok yüksek miydi bilmiyorum ama aradaki fark oldukça büyüktü. 1. 20 dakikadan fazla bekledikten sonra genç bir adam hiç yardımcı olmadı (daha önce, check-in işlemlerini yaşlı bir vatandaşın ailesi yürütüyordu ve özellikle yabancılara karşı inanılmaz derecede talepkarlardı, bu yüzden o 20 dakika içinde sadece iki kişi check-in yapmıştı ve beklerken oturacak yerimiz kalmamıştı). Ancak inanılmaz derecede beceriksizdi ve rezervasyonumuzu bulamadı. Sonunda bulduğunda, ben formları doldururken tekrar ortadan kayboldu. Yaşlı vatandaşın ailesi işini bitirmişti ve peşimden gelen misafir check-in yapmaya devam etti. Ona çok uzun süre beklediğimi söyledim ve özürlerini kabul etmedim. Genç adam geri döndü ve o kadar uzun süre beklediğimden emin olup olmadığımı sordu. Sonra herkesin sırada beklemesi gerektiğini ve benzeri şeyleri tekrar tekrar söyledi. İlk bitiren kişi benden önde olmalıydı. 2. Aynı genç adam yataklarımızı yapmayı unutmuş. Akşam yemeğinden 7:40'ta döndükten sonra arayıp hatırlattıktan sonra hatırladım. 3. Koyasan web sitesinde, manzaralı ve banyolu bir odanın kişi başı, bir gece ve iki öğün olmak üzere yaklaşık 20.000 yen olduğu yazıyor. Ancak Ctrip acentem aracılığıyla rezervasyon yaptırdığım fiyat, iki kişi için kahvaltı dahil, banyo ve manzara olmadan 1.500 yuandı. Bu kadar yüksek bir fiyatın nasıl haklı olduğunu anlayamıyorum. Ayrıca, diğer kullanıcıların bahsettiği soğuk hava sorunu da çözülmüş gibi görünüyor. Odada klimaya ek olarak bir ısıtıcı da var."

"We didn’t expect it’s not a hostel but Buddhist temple) it was a nice experience to live here. It’s very clean inside and rooms look like typical Japanese minkas inside. The place is very picturesque around and it’s easy to get there."

"Als Hotel betrachtet, kann man den Aufenthalt als interessant und angenehm bezeichnen. Wer sich aber einen tieferen Einblick in den esoterischen bzw. Shingon-Buddhismus erwartet, wird enttäuscht sein. Natürlich sind die Abend/ Morgenrituale und das vegan Essen interessant bzw sogar spektakulär, aber es wird praktisch kaum etwas erklärt und es gibt auch keine Möglichkeit für Gespräche oder sonstigen Kontakt mit den Mönchen. Da die Anreise/ Abreise selbst aus/nach Osaka mindestens 3.5 Stunden dauert, sollte man unbedingt 2 Nächte in Koyasan einplanen, um die Sehenswürdigkeiten ohne Hetze besichtigen zu können.  Mein Eindruck war, dass der Aufenthalt primär zur Finanzierung der Tempel dient, aber nicht, um den Besuchern die Lehre des Shingon-Buddhismus bzw die Lebensweise der Mönche näher zu bringen. Für diesen kleinen Einblick würde ich nicht nochmals in so ein abgelegenes Gebiet reisen."

"For the price, this was a really average stay. The staff were average, as well as the food. The staff were friendly but they didn’t feel genuine. The Temple itself is very beautiful. The rooms are large, however the floor mattresses are completely worn out so you can actually feel the hard floor beneath you. I’ve stayed in a Ryokan before and their mattresses were still soft and comfortable so this Temples mattresses are definitely in need of an upgrade. Would I come here again? Probably not."

"We were welcomed very warmly at Saizenin. The room was very spacious, diner and breakfast delicious, the ofuro very pleasant. The temple is also very well located, only a 20min walk from Okuno-in. Great Experience !"

"Everyone was very helpful despite language differences. Excellent meals"

"英文友善。多數外國人入住。帶浴室與衞生間的房間無可挑剔。酒店推薦日式按摩非常不一般。早晚餐份量對一般女生來説適合。早晚冥想沒有英文/日文底子就是感受一下環境。離主要街道稍微要走15分鐘。酒店有付費代寄行李服務，方便需要更多徒步到下一站的人。"

"It wasn't the most pleasant experience considering that the males n females had to share toilets and that some other rooms had private toilets n bath instead. And also the fact that the walls are super thin hence whomever is connected to your room if their loud or they don't like your voice volume than you might get kicked to the curb. It's a very frustrating experience for sure since it tests one's patience n ability to let go. It's training for the customers n monks alike. I met a Japanese friend here whom shared with me how rude the monks and the staff were to one another n I think that shows the quality of this place however we were pretty lucky as there was a male who spoke mandarin n a male who spoke English both quite well in this place n though the mandarin speaker was quite condescending towards the other monks, the English speaker was really nice n patient overall. He helped me out a lot since we couldn't communicate with the others n seemed to be the only customers that spoke English whom booked this place by ourselves, the others around seemed to have a guide n were usually in groups. It's a unique experience n I recommend just staying for one night or going to the other temples. I went for the ajikan meditation at eko in temple n the service n cleanliness was on another level for sure. The food here was also really simple. Also a must see are the tomb area n the walk to kobold daishi temple. As a sensitive person, I felt the overwhelming love n presence and the cleanse of my heart of this amazing soul over there. To me, that was worth it. Remember to clean yourself with the water out front before going in.... and of course to the amazing fateful friendship that occurred for us with the jap-taiwanese couple we met. It was the next fav of mine after the time spent in nara visitor center. That was truly magickal n how I wished we stayed longer there. But all was good cause the way I planned this trip made it so that we would have this fateful encounter to the end of our trip."

"This is my first experience staying at a Japanese temple. The place is very clean and has the feel of nostalgia of a ancient temple located next to the okunoin cemetery. The room is spacious equipped with heater, tv and necessary amenity. The break is served at around 7:30am after the mediation which the guests are invited to join and the dinner is around 5:30pm. All vegetarian menus which are very delicious. You will be given a wooden stick to write your wish and name and use it during the fire ceremony at 1pm take place next to the temple. The place are ran by professional monks who speak good English. I highly recommend this place. The only downfall is there are only two restroom without bidet in the facility."
