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。

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.

初めて永平寺に伺いました。事前予約の座禅体験と朝のおつとめに参加させていただき大変素晴らしい経験をさせていただきました。永平寺のこと、道元老師のことを勉強してから行けばより良いなぁーと感じました。また行きたいです。身体や頭がリセットできる素敵なパワースポットだと感じました。
