8/10
Soujiin in Koyasan, Japan. Located in the mountain village with 117 temples and about 900 residents. Walkable from Okunoin cemetery, around 30-40 minutes to main temples. Rooms spacious, tatami mats, futons, limited chairs. Heaters in rooms, no climate control outside. Traditional vegan meals included—vegetable and bean proteins—very filling. Attended morning prayers with English-speaking monk; signed goshuincho by head priest who showed calligraphy skills. Activities: meditation at 16:30-17:15 (about 1000 Yen), night walk at 18:30 (about 2500 Yen), morning class at 6:00-7:00. Food beautifully presented; staff attentive and welcoming; curfew but not a problem. Good location within town center, well connected by bus stops every few hundred meters.
