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.

Это был интересный опыт! Ужин был вкусный, хотя и непривычный для меня) Побывать на утреннец церемонии было интересно, совершенно новый для меня опыт! Из минусов: 1. В комнате было холодно. Но был обогреватель. 2. До туалета было далековато от нашей комнаты. Остальное прекрасно!

Our stay at Shojoshinin was fantastic. We slept in a traditional japanese room and had a delicious dinner and breakfast in another incredibly beautiful room. We attended the morning prayers, the temple tour, and the fire ceremony. It was quite cold but there was heating in the room so no problem :)

sehr schöner und eindrucksvoller Aufenthalt im Tempel

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.

Было очень холодно. До туалета надо идти далеко.
