The easy pace at the temple, and the serene environment. Very close to all the attractions.

Sans doute l'auberge de jeunesse la plus atypique ! Elle est située dans un temple (ce qui fait d'ailleurs qu'elle n'est pas facile à trouver) et gérer par des moines. On dort sur les tatamis avec un oreiller de riz et il y a un onsen. L'ambiance est unique !

This hostel is located in a beautiful temple. It was a very nice experience and the first time for me to sleep on a tatami with futon. Thank you so much!

It is japanese style futon so for westerners it might be unconfortable so bring your inflatted mat when you come to Japan. Heater is very good. The common japanese bath nice and clean. The old man in charge was helpful and very nice. It was a very good experience.
