Kyotango Enjoji Temple Hotels

"The ocean view is great. The happy hour and night cap with liquor and snack is a pleasant surprise."

"Clean nice room."

"amazing hotel, cozy Japanese room with an incredible view to the ocean. the hotel staff were also very helpful in providing restaurant recommendations and giving us rides to the train station!"

"Great property! Clean, comfortable, well-equipped kitchen. Only one bedroom (upstairs) has actual beds. The downstairs bedroom has Japanese style futons. The stairs to the second floor are circular and somewhat steep, a challenge for those with mobility limitations or heavy luggage. Lots of space indoors for kids to play, but none outside. The house it built on stilts over a very steep slope, almost a cliff.The Main difficulties checking in were (1) the contact phone is not correct, and (2) Google maps does not show the address given,instead returning generic area view. Vrbo text chat was totally useless! It did not recognize the reservation number sent from Vrbo by email. A phone call to Vrbo customer support was necessary. The human agent was able to identify the reservation, sent a working number, and a link that correctly located the property on Google Maps.However, the contact phone number provided a lengthy intro, but only in Japanese. Fortunately, my Japanese friend handled that. The instructions warned that help was available only for those who had reserved properties through Rakuten, which threw us off for a bit, when we answered "Not through Rakuten". When we answered "Yes" anyway, we were put through to a helpful agent who straightened everything out and gave us the contact number for the actual owner. The owner herself was very helpful, but we did not meet in person and were able to enter using a "hidden" key. You MUST know Japanese to rent this property!"

"Great hotel and service. The manager was very kind and the room was beautiful. I very much enjoyed my stay and appreciated the market nearby"

"We really loved our stay. The building is old be very cozy and comfortable. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. I would definitely return there. If you plan to dine outside the hotel, make sure you book beforehand. "

"Not bad"

"If you want to take a step off the beaten track in Japan this is a very good option. The hotel is situated in a very good place to explore the Kyoto on Sea area (this is not Kyoto city). The Hotel will send a minibus at certain times of day to pick new visitors up from the railway station. The hotels offers visitors free bike hire for 4 hours and is relatively close to the bus route for exploring other parts of the area. As this is not a city you are limited in the immediate area for places to eat out. "

"The hotel has been recently rebranded and is undergoing extensive renovations. The bits they've finished, like the rooms and the dining room, are new and shiny. The room itself was comfortable. It's close to the town, which has good izakaya and other options if you're not on a meal plan. There is also a Lawson close-by. On weekdays especially the hotel is an active construction site inside and out. It probably isn't what the workers want, to have to share a construction site with guests. It also felt a bit odd as a guest e.g. the workers congregate/socialise/smoke in a space inside the hotel entrance. I realise they are trying hard to improve the hotel, and the hotel staff were courteous and helpful at all times. The state of construction is reflected in the price, which is cheaper than nearby options. I read about the construction in advance from Japanese language reviews on other sites, so it wasn't a complete surprise."
