Kongo Sammai-in
Buddhist temple
😐 This place is connected to a hotel, with unusual unfriendly personnel, however respectful I was. Well, everyone can have a bad day ... The buildings on the complex however are nicely located and well maintained. The little garden is a pretty center place.

Mausoleum of Great Master Kobo Daishi (Buddhist monk Kūkai)
Buddhist temple
👍👍 Although it was a long time ago, it was an evening so it took time to walk, so I headed for a taxi with my acquaintance and my mother. Did you get lost in your heart even though you have never been intoxicated? I received a vegetarian dish as soon as I arrived, but I felt sorry because I wasn't fee...

Tokugawa Clan Mausoleum
Buddhist temple
😐 Ornately carved and colorful but appropriately priced at only 200 yen. Takes about 5 to 10 minutes to view the entire thing. If you want Tokugawa history head to Nikko but if you have extra time it's worth a half hour of your really into the history of the Tokugawa Shogunate.

👍👍 Extraordinary experience to be hosted by Buddhist monks, try meditation and breakfast/dinner. Very essential room with view on traditional Japanese garden with stones and sand. I imagine that in winter must be wonderful with snow! I have to come back again in the future.

Nyonin-do Hall
Buddhist temple
👍👍 When Mt. Koya was banned from women, there were seven roads leading to Mt. Koya, and it was said that Nyonindo was set up as a barrier to prevent women from entering each, and this is Fudoguchi Nyonindo. The other six places are the remains of the women's hall, and there are no halls left. To visit...

Koyasan Saizen-in Temple
Buddhist temple
😠 We expected more for this price. Firstly, it was not mentioned when we booked that there was an open/close time of the main door (after that time you cannot come in). Secondly, there is no shower in our room what was mentioned and was ok, but it was not written that bath time is till 20:30 and the...

😠 To those who are aspiring to work here, Jokiin: I used to work here for a few days. The coworkers and guests were very nice, but the employer was not. ・She screamed at me for not doing tasks that I hadn't been told to do. She wouldn't listen to me explaining that I didn't even know how to do them....
