  Tamonkan Review score: 9.3

  “Super Host & Super Chef! Warm, welcoming, and deeply attentive — the hosts are truly exceptional. Their dedication and knowledge shine through every detail, especially in the meals and the overall stay. Whether you request a pure Buddhist vegetarian meal or have specific needs, they go the extra mile with care and heart. Communication is smooth in both English and Japanese, which makes everything easy and reassuring. A small team, yet incredibly skillful. I’m truly amazed by their hospitality. This is not just a stay — it’s a rare, heartfelt experience that cannot be exchanged for anything. I feel truly blessed. Thank you so much. Very highly recommended. May all your kindness and efforts be returned with abundant merits and blessings. 南無阿弥陀仏 Namu Amida Butsu 🙏🏻😊🌿”

  大聖坊 Daishobo Review score: 7.8

  “The food provided was very tasty and real monk cuisine! The portions were always big enough. The hosting monk was very pleasent and tried his best to help me or give me tip if I asked. There was also a morning prayer lead by the high priest, it was a very spiritual and interesting experience, definitely would recommend attending if you get the chance Before my climb to Gassan mountain, the monk prepared me even lunch for the journey! Had a pleasent experience overall.”

  “A good opportunity to meet and chat up Japanese hikers (they knew as much English as I did Japanese, but that's nothing a beer or two won't fix).”
