Independent Shimobuchi hotels

"I was welcomed with a warm greeting by an english speaking monk. The overall atmosphere was simple with a warm welcome home feeling. I highly recommend staying longer than one day. "

"Excellent services, quiet, good meals and very relaxing experience."

"Amazing room. Nice lightning, bathroom, and room layout."

"Cannot say enough good things about this monastery. The food was top notch. So healthy and delicious. Our best meals in Japan (vegan food that will amaze you- and we are not even vegan)! The staff is so kind and welcoming. Do not miss the chanting ceremony in the morning. Loved the room with its traditional Japanese experience and garden view. Perfect location across the street from the temple complex. Don’t miss walking around it at night. Breathtakingly beautiful."

"子どもにも親切に対応くださり、急な宿泊になったのですが、心地良い時間をいただきました。"

"It was beautiful. The people were kind and helpful and we learned a lot. "

"Very close to the station!! The breakfast buffet was also very yummy and a great way to start my day :)"

"Seems like a new hotel very close to the station with fabulous rooftop spa."

"The hotel was amazing, the room is surprisingly spacious, even though it looks small, your big luggage can be stored under your bed (if you're not bringing your partner). The staffs were friendly and kind, despite being some language barrier. Breakfast were good too, they always changed them everyday. And the area was extremely calm and quiet, it's more like a local area. The hotel was also a bit brand new, maybe 2 years old? Easily walkable to the station. And some nearby some shops. I would definitely stay again in the future."
