    The rooms were clean and spacious. It was comfortable with airco and renovated modern bathroom. You will be welcomed by a super lovely gentle Akita dog called Sun. We participated in the morning ritual of Shingon Buddhism at the temple. The...

    Es war ein Erlebnis im Tempel zu übernachten - mit der Möglichkeit am Morgenritual teilzunehmen. Sehr freundliche und interessierte Begegnung. Die Tempelregeln (Schliesszeiten und Warmwasserzeiten) konnten im Gespräch angepasst werden.

    Le fait de pouvoir se plonger dans l’univers Bouddhiste est un vrai plus dans un voyage touristique. L’arrêt de bus n’est qu’à 8 minutes à pied mais bien se repérer au préalable. N’hésitez pas à acheter un pass journée à Sado. Endroit très calme...

    到着すると看板犬が出迎えてくれます。 緑に囲まれた静かなロケーションで宿泊したときはエントランスに燕が数組営巣していました。 2泊3日で利用しましたが記載情報通りの必要十分な設備は整っており、清潔に保たれており快適に過ごせました。 (アメニティについてはすべて持参していたので不明です) 朝の勤行後に参加者全員で朝食をいただく際に、宗派のことや佐渡がなぜ関西圏に近い文化なのか(電気の周波数も関西と同じ60Hz)など様々なお話が伺え非常に興味深かったです。(ご住職は佐渡古文化保存協...

    La gentillesse et la disponibilité du personnel, Ils ont été très prévenants, m'ont indiqué les restaurants à proximité... L'arrêt de bus (de la ligne qui mène directement au port pour Niigata) à maximum 10 mn.

    I've been traveling in Japan for more than a decade—traveling in Japan is my profession—and this is honestly one of the coolest places I've ever stayed. From the temple grounds themselves, to the morning prayers, to having an authentic breakfast...

    到着後近くの温泉にわざわざ送迎をしてくださり、思いがけず温泉でゆっくり旅の疲れを癒すことができました。 希望参加の翌朝6時からの勤行式では凛とした気持ちになりその後の茶粥が何といってもおいしかったです。梅干し、境内のタケノコなど手作りだそうです。また勤行式で使った経典をお土産にいただきました。チャックアウトの前にお庭を散策したりお蔵の宝物を拝見させていただき大満足の宿坊でした。代表の方がお蔵の修繕を自ら汗を流し清掃修繕に努められたとのこと、地域のため情熱を注がれていらっしゃる姿にも感動!...

    お寺の雰囲気が素敵でした。朝起きて窓の外に広がる景色が、緑に溢れていて美しかったです。ご住職が佐渡の文化について博識で、ガイドブックには載っていない様々な面白いお話をきかせてくださいました。ぜひまた行きたいです。

    早朝にお経を唱えるお務めがあり(任意参加)、その後住職さんと同宿の人たちと朝粥を食べるのが貴重な経験だった。部屋はいわゆる民泊と同じで、必要な設備は揃っていました。何より歴史を感じさせるお寺の雰囲気と住職のお話が興味深かったです。
