Nearby was an old cemetary where we had a nice walk. Beautiful garden outside.

Very commercialized, no real temple feeling. Food passable (kid left hungry). Full of people in ceremonies, no real feel of Buddhism. You have to pay extra even for wooden sticks for morning ceremony, despite the fact that simple room for night with shared bathroom costs well above 600 EUR.

The dinner and breakfast were both impressive and absolutely delicious, especially considering that they were entirely plant-based. There was a great variety of beautifully presented dishes. Although the portions of each individual dish were small, there were plenty of them, and we certainly did not leave the table hungry. The room was spacious, simple and minimalist, in keeping with the traditional character of the accommodation. The two ceremonies were also a memorable part of the experience. The location is beautiful and, considering its remote setting, relatively easy to reach from Kyoto. Overall, it was a unique and very special experience.

The shared bathroom and toilet were the main drawback, especially considering the price. I also felt that the overall cost was quite high for a one-night stay, with the Okunoin cemetery visit charged separately

Dinner and breakfast exellent.

Door to the rooms incredibly squeaky. I was woke up by people from another room because of that. Also thin walls, you can hear people talking. Not good when you try to go to sleep.
