1. Kakurinbo Temple Lodging (Ryokan)
Overall Ratings
5 based on 48 reviews
Kakurinbo is a historic Buddhist temple ryokan, or "shukubo," housed within Gyogakuin temple. It was established some 550 years ago to accommodate visiting priests and novice monks. Today, Kakurinbo offers a place of relaxation for visitors and worshipers alike while maintaining an authentic environment. Kakurinbo is one of the oldest shukubo in the Minobusan area and one of the very few to have retained its traditional structure and décor. All rooms are separated by fusuma, a style of sliding door, and guests sleep on futon mattresses laid onto tatami-matted floors. Minobu is famous for its yuba tofu, an essential part of the Buddhist vegetarian diet, and the locally grown Akebono soybeans. At Kakurinbo, we take pride in the generous use of local ingredients in our cuisine. Our lovingly crafted dinners combine the elegance and variety of kaiseki ryori with the wholesomeness of shojin Buddhist cuisine, allowing diners to enjoy the rich flavors of Japan’s four seasons. At Kakurinbo, we are ever striving to provide opportunities for our guests to learn more about the local culture, which is deeply entwined with the practice of Buddhism. To this end, we offer a number of "experiences." These include trying on any one of our 13 authentic wedding kimonos for memorable photo ops, shakyo, or sutra-copying, classes in English, morning yoga at Kakurinbo and morning prayers at Kuonji, and nightly performances of mando that offer a taste of Minobusan's exciting Oeshiki festival.
Awesome place and location
Reviewed By ErikB2154This was a truly remarkable experience. It is a Buddhist temple with lodging facilities of high standards. I actually had to walk through the prayer hall to get to my room. Very nice bath and garden. I had dinner and breakfast at the lodge, and the food itself is worth a stay. Two gourmet Japanese meals that will be remembered. The lodge is within walking distance of the holy mountain of Minobusan. Also, the lodge owns a guesthouse down the road that can accommodate a larger group of people. I went to see this house and it is of very high standard.

Amazing place
Reviewed By kelly11584I was part of a tour guide and the way to the hotel is a bit scary but the bus driver make it through the narrow roads and bends. The hotel look wonderful outside and inside. The staff was very polite and helpful even if their English was that good. We had to watch kimono so it was an interesting and I had to get the tour guide to help me fix it as not tied properly. Our group had a proper Japanese meal and I got to try Japanese Saki. We got to use the hot pools which was very nice but you have to go in naked which was a bit scary but my first time I was alone the next time there were others but they don't look at you. We got to sleep on the floor like what the real Japanese people do - you have a mattress on the floor and you lie on it. It wasn't too bad sleeping on the floor. I will go again.

5. Temple Hotel Habanobo

Special experience at Habanobo
Reviewed By Jonathan MHabanobo was an excellent place to stay and experience a different side of Japan. The temple itself has been renovated and provides a clean yet traditional atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious and although vegetarian, I did not miss eating meat for the day. As for the hosts, they were very warm and welcoming. The head priest took time to specially explain the history and details of the the temples and surrounding area. When going into this experience keep in mind that while you will be comfortable it is also "no frills" and is unlike a traditional "ryokan" experience. A certain level of introspection and respect is needed; however, if you go into it with that in mind you won't be let down.
