It was a very interesting experience staying at the temple. We only stayed for one night and in the morning we walked around the area a bit. It was pretty painful to get there from Kyoto, it took us hours and 4 or 5 different trains, including a cable cart. It was also a weekend, so perhaps the train schedule... More

I stayed at Henjoko-in for a night in June as part of a trip around Japan. Since I planned to visit both Nara and Hiroshima, Koya-san is not too complicated to visit between the two. Getting to it *does* require planning and setting aside most of a day, because you have to take a couple of trains, a ropeway and... More

I stayed here for 1 night on 23 May 2012. The room was very nice, had my own toilet and it seemed to be a fairly new section (some of the temple is quite old).

We stayed in a traditional room with tatami mats and futon bed, which was assembled while we were having dinner. The room (No.5) had a gorgeous garden view. Dinner was served in a private dining room and consisted... More

Stayed at the Henjoko In for 1 night whilst travelling around Japan, and it was a great experience. The room was very large, and hot green tea was provided as soon as we entered the temple building. The evening meal and breakfast of shojin ryori; a multi course vegetarian banquet was fantastic. The only issue I would have is that... More
