Mooie ervaring

9.0

We waren met 5 mensen en hadden de nieuwe kamer. Met drie comfortabele futonbedden en twee “normale” bedden. Hele fijne kamer, alles nieuw. Super vriendelijk personeel. Uitgebreid alles uitgelegd. De ochtend meegedaan met ochtend ritueel in het klooster. Alles werd mooi en uitgebreid uitgelegd. Mooie ervaring. En 10 minuten lopen van het oude Takayama. Erg mooi

Naprostá spokojenost

9.0

Naprostá spokojenost, personál velice ochotný (Děkujeme Fumiko-san). Škoda, ze nemám japonskou velikost (192 cm) ;-) Ranní modllitba byl úžasný zážitek, který dobře připravili i pro lidi bez zkušeností s budhismem. Prostory byly nádherné.

A truly unique, calm, senene experience that I would love to go back

We had an amazing experience, I must say unique, the room is so big for us, surrounded by beautiful garden which make you feel like you wake up in nature. It's within a temple so you inherit calm, serene feelings.

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre logement, mais surtout l'expérience qui nous a été offerte. Nous ignorons presque tout au sujet du bouddhisme, et ce fut une magnifique découverte. Le personnel et l'équipement de ce lieu étaient au top.
