The futons were quite comfortable. Our room had a toilet and sink, but no shower or bath. There is an Onsen, however we did not use it. The meals were very good. It was a great experience overall. They do have a 9pm curfew. Koya is very quiet at night. There is a Family Mart in town, close to the hotel. ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Subrato Jan 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities First time staying in a Skukubo in Japan. The traditional Japanese ryokan style of the Sojin was great. Including tatami matts and sliding doors. The staff and monk service was very accomodating. They provided extra water when I asked for it, and made my bed while I was having dinner. Expecially the dining experience of the Buddhist monks cooking and serving their meals of Shojin Ryori. These were the best meals I have ever had! ##### Subrato Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tsz Ho Jan 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place with great food.

Halfboard overpriced. ##### dirk Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ken Dec 24, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A wonderful experience. This is a Buddhist temple offering a 'luxury' retreat complete with a gourmet style vegetarian dinner and breakfast. If you have any interest in Buddhism this will for you. Lot's of great places to explore by foot. Went in December and the snow turned the place into a beautiful landscape. The town itself can be a little touristy but so is the Vatican! Highly recommended - but be respectful of the religious context of this location. ##### Ken ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philip Apr 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our stay at Sojiin was truly the most wonderful experience. We stayed for two nights with our 10-year-old son, hoping to gain a deeper understanding of life in a Buddhist temple—and it exceeded our expectations. We attended the morning prayer ceremony at 6am, which was a peaceful and moving way to start the day. In the afternoons, we joined a meditation session led by Patrick, and also took part in his insightful evening walk around the main temple complex. Patrick was outstanding—warm, humorous, and thought-provoking. He encouraged us to reflect deeply on aspects of our own lives, and made the experience accessible and engaging for all ages. Our son enjoyed it so much he insisted on attending a second session. The Buddhist vegan cuisine was superb—beautifully prepared, nourishing, and surprisingly varied. Each meal felt like an extension of the temple’s peaceful philosophy. The entire sacred area of Koyasan is fascinating, rich in history and spiritual meaning. We left feeling inspired, reflective, and incredibly grateful for our time at Sojiin. ##### Philip Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### zhen Sep 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Dinning is more than expected ##### zhen Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexandra Aug 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Cannot say enough good things about this monastery. The food was top notch. So healthy and delicious. Our best meals in Japan (vegan food that will amaze you- and we are not even vegan)! The staff is so kind and welcoming. Do not miss the chanting ceremony in the morning. Loved the room with its traditional Japanese experience and garden view. Perfect location across the street from the temple complex. Don’t miss walking around it at night. Breathtakingly beautiful. ##### Alexandra Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gabriela Jun 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Mixes comfort with Japanese style. The staff very caring and the morning ceremony fill Buddhist gratuito al morning chanting. The food looks like work of art, though the tasting is complex and, although we are vegetarian, it was something very different. ##### Gabriela Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Prasad Jun 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Very expensive for a night stay and meager services/food offered ##### Prasad Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marc May 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very nice facility inside a temple.

Eine Nacht war für uns völlig ausreichend. Man kann auch an der morgendlichen Zeremonie (06:00 Uhr - 07:00 Uhr teilnehmen. Anschliessend wird man noch durch den Tempel geführt und es wird einiges über den Glauben erzählt. Es war wirklich spannend. ##### Florian Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Birgit Mar 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Sehr guter Service, freundliches Personal und ruhige Lage. Das japanische Essen war äußerst schmackhaft und wunderschön angerichtet. ##### Birgit Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Guillermo Mar 4, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities I would say this stay came off as a tourist trap. The monks were also not very nice. We were told to leave early from the morning ceremony because it had become “Japanese only”… paid a lot of money to be told you had to leave. There was no translator or someone to inform us about the ceremony like we had been told. ##### Guillermo Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trevor Jan 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Amazing service, best vegan food I’ve ever had, very flavourful.

I loved waking up in the morning & seeing the forest outside. My room was very clean and the front desk service very friendly. I really enjoyed the dinner & breakfast service (everything tasted amazing!~) and the morning meditation ceremony was memorable. Everyone at the temple are so kind and helpful. ##### Leilani Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Satah Jul 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities I really enjoyed the morning ceremony and opportunity to learn more of the buddhist culture.
