Shojoshinin

It was the unique experience. So, just a few useful notes. They has temple tour at 12:30, and you can continue with “goma” fire ritual at 13:00, free for hotel guests. Be prepared that it could be really cold. Cold at night, cold at morning pray, cold at breakfast, where only slightly warm tea and rice could save you from the feeling of being cold.

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.

It was my first time to visit Goyamountain. I enjoyed very much my stay and the vegetarian meals were exceptional.

An amazing experience The service was respectful and the fire ceremony & morning prayers were such a experience to be able to be a part of

The temple is well organised and staff are helpful, We experienced a quiet and tranquil time there especially in morning prayer and temple tour.

Fantastic place. But note u can’t shower in the morning
