Shojoshinin

Best templestay! Staff is monks, at the morning - morning pray and at 12 o’clock fire ceremony. Delicious and private dinner and breakfast! Wooden and old (good old) building! Thanks to Kaori Kodama guide, who tell many interesting things about Okunoin Best stay in Shojoshin-in!

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.

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
