Kinpusenji Temple Tours and Activities

Visiting Yoshino Mountain to see sakura, we came to this temple for ascetic monks practicing Shugendo. (Saito goma ritual) This branch of Buddhism is restricted to women. This ceremony, however, was almost all women! Usually, the ascetics walk over the hot coals remaining after the fire. We left before that happened.

Nice , clean hotel , I've stayed here every time I've been to Japan. The staff is helpful but the could be a little more friendly. It's really the only place I feel that way , not sure if it's the area we are in.

The stand out about this hotel is the people. Everything with the property is excellent. But a hotel is about people. The people that care for you here are so lovely and warm that they feel more like family. You really look forward to seeing them every day and engaging them on the traditions and culture of Japan.

Large hotel room. Clean. Lots of room. Great shower. You can hear people walking around in the room above. The floor was paper thin and you could hear every step. Had to re-wash clothing after using the washing machine. It left everything very musty smelling, could use a cleaning cycle. The location was 15-20 minutes walk to train station, shopping, tourist stuff.
