An unforgettable experience at Daimyououin! Staying at this temple was truly special: the atmosphere is timeless, peaceful, calming, and serene. The room was beautiful, with a breathtaking view of one of the temple’s gardens. Both dinner and breakfast were not only delicious but also well presented. The priests were kind and spoke enough English to make us feel welcome. We also joined the morning prayer, which was a touching experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this Shukubo to anyone looking for a meaningful and authentic stay in Koyasan! すべてありがとうございました。 とてもすてきな たいざい になりました。

Offering a garden and garden view, 高野山 宿坊 龍泉院 -Koyasan Shukubo Ryusenin- is set in Koyasan, 45 km from Matsushita Park and 47 km from Kii Fudoki No Oka Museum of Archaeology and Folklore. Offering free private parking, the 3-star ryokan is 38 km from Kishi Station. Subaru Hall is 48 km away and Jigenin Temple is 49 km from the ryokan. The place is very impressive and it's a unique experience. The staff is very kind and attentive, the place itself is also very beautiful and kept well. The location is also great usually as there's a bus stop right at it (was in repairs when we came though, but still not far from the next stop as well). The food in the morning and dinner were really great in our opinion, and we got the room for ourselves only for eating which was very nice and fun. The rooms for sleeping are also superb, very comfortable and great. The onsen was also very nice :)
