Absolutely loved this place how quiet it was the beautiful surroundings. The river flowing at night. The service and food was next level

環境寧靜，我們當晚到時已接近9:00, 但服務人員沒有催促，令人舒服。

很特別的體驗，寧靜舒適。雪景特別美！

A beautiful inn located steps from Eiheiji Temple. Very professional and kind staff. Outstanding service. Serving full breakfast and dinner with your stay. The meals,are delicious and the rooms are exceptionally clean…the beds comfortable. In the morning and afternoon if you wish to visit the temple, staff will pick you up at the inn.

Interior Design is well done. However the view from room is not to the main Eiheiji temple but to the backside of ugly buildings. Unfortunately there is a moldy smell in the rooms which immediately affects the respiratory tract, maybe because of aircon and ventilation is not properly maintained. It has 15 rooms. The small Onsen is overcrowded especially when children play there. It has not the serene atmosphere you can expect from a place like this in this price category. Zen meditation in the main Eiheiji temple at 15.30 in afternoon is more or less of no use since the monk only speaks Japanese, no English instructions. The meditation hall is just a room and nothing special, it is just beside the walkway where all visitors pass and you hear them. Overall disappointing experience and I would not stay here again. For a perfect great stay, food and meditation/prayer in a wonderful temple go to Koyasan Fudo in. I came already twice it is fantastic.

A wonderful stay. The morning service at the temple was a profound experience. The introduction to zazen was great, though Japanese speakers will get most out of this - ditto the lecture before morning service. The meals were excellent, and everyone at the hotel was friendly and helpful. All together, this short stay was a true highlight of my month in Japan. If you’re staying over a Tuesday, you should be aware that (all?) the restaurants in Eiheiji village seem to close on that day. I’m sure the concierge at the hotel will be able to advise on where to get lunch.

Magical place. The Onsen and Meals were Amazing. The Activities are a once in a lifetime. Unfortunately the only view from rooms is buildings, wish there was a garden view or for sitting and soaking in the serenity.

Our stay here was wonderful—the staff, the food, the onsen and of course the arrangement of the temple activities. If you are going to Eihiji I highly recommend a stay here.

２泊させていただきましたが、４食の食事がどれも美味しくボリュームもあって大満足でした。 永平寺への参拝が主目的で選んだ宿でしたが、次回は柏樹關さんに宿泊することを目的に伺いたいです。
