Hôtel près de Mont Gomadanzan (Tanabe)

« Excellent onsen hotel right at the end of the first day of the Kohechi Kumano Kodo pilgrimage trail. I came for the onsen and mountain seclusion, but they had such good maps of the Kohechi at the front desk that I decided to walk back to Koyasan the day I checked out. It’s about 20km through the mountains from Nosegawa Onsen to Koyasan, walking on a mix of well-kept trails and paved roads; overall, a moderately difficult hike with very good signage. I highly recommend Kohechi hikers to stay at...

« A spectacular stay from start to finish. The location is beautiful, the staff incredibly kind and attentive, and the ambiance truly special. The rooms were comfortable and serene, and both dinner and breakfast were absolutely incredible. The baths were spotless and very relaxing. 100% recommend staying here. »

« From the time that we were welcomed by Teo to to the grace of having my oversized goshuincho signed before departure, the serene and uplifting atmosphere of the monastery was a balm. The meals were delicious, the tour was informative and reverent, and the temple complex across the road was a joy. Our rooms was elegant and simple. 10/10. »

« Merveilleux séjour au beau temple Ekoin, accueil attentionné. Chambre supérieure spacieuse à la fois traditionnelle et avec des équipements modernes. Très propre. Repas très copieux, joliment présentés et plein de saveurs à découvrir. Bain dans le temple. Possibilité de participer aux cérémonies des moines ( prière, méditation et goma ). Proche du cimetière Okunoin. »

« Séjour dans un monastère, on oublie le confort superflu et le temps d’une nuit on vit au rythme des moines. Cérémonies le matin, petit déjeuner et dîner local avec les autres guests. Moment très agréable, lieu hors des sentiers battus. »

« Accueil très arrogant et rude par les moines. On a l’impression qu’ils sont seulement intéresser par l’argent. Nourriture dégolas. Confort zéro. »

« Wonderful shukubo experience. The temple and its garden are magical. The traditional Japanese room was very comfortable and finely decorated. The onsen was quite pleasant. The meals very delicate and diverse. The meditation and chanting ceremonies very moving. Finally, the monks were very welcoming. Great memories all-round. »

« Very nice stay, lovely staff »
