The quiet, the place, the room - super place

“Relaxing and comfortable night at a temple !”

This is a stay at a temple !!! (which explains why check-in is only possible until 7 PM.) When you arrive, there’s an intercom to ring, and from there, everything is very easy. The room was spacious, with a tatami floor and a super comfy futon. Everything was extremely clean! There is also a shared area with restrooms, a shower, fridge, and microwave that you can use freely — and even a spot where you can try copying sutras if you feel like it! I was alone the night I stayed, so I even left my room door open. Still, I think it would also be a lovely place for a family or a small group (there seemed to be about three rooms), as it feels like having your own little retreat. You can check out very early if you need to, and if you wake up in time (I didn’t, sadly), you can attend the 7 AM morning prayer/meditation. There is a shower, but if you're in the mood for a countryside onsen experience, there’s one just across the street! The location is about 30 minutes by bus from Kurayoshi Station, which might feel a bit far — but I personally enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of the village, and the bus ride offers beautiful scenic views.

The place was spotlessly clean. A bit far from town but should not be a problem if you buy the Tottori bus pass. A good choice for those loving nature, quietness and local onsen (which should be less crowded in early morning or after 7.30pm).

Amazing place, clean, new, spacious. In the morning you can meditate in the temple with the monk. Close to this place is very nice abandoned railway track that goes through Bamboo forest, search for "railway track" on Google maps. Another great place is Sanbutsu-ji Temple 三徳山 三佛寺, go there you will not regret it 😎

“An interesting experience to stay with a temple”

The room was nice and cozy and I like it a lot. Also, parking space is provided which is not difficult to find from the google map.

Amazing place! Unique cultural experience!

“Much needed away from the busy city”

Is a pleasantly zen and quiet stay. The room and common ground are very well maintained and clean. We enjoyed our stay!

“Clean, spacious, and comfortable stay at a renovated temple.”

Such a unique place to stay tucked away in the corner of a small town. We had the entire place to our family (2 rooms and shared area). Everything was brand new and spotless. And the owner was extremely friendly and helpful.

Wonderful hospitality in a unique location. The rooms and facilities are super clean and well tended to. I would gladly stay here again if fate brings me back to Kurayoshi.

“its overall fantastic”
