Temple Lodging Shukubo Kakurinbo

Great view and nice place to stay. Clean and friendly staffs

very clean, english speaking, good service

外国籍の宿泊者が多く日本文化啓蒙に尽力されているのを感じました。お風呂や食堂からお庭の景観が眺められます。チェックインを当初より変更しましたが快諾頂けました。朝食時は池の錦鯉の悠然とした泳ぎに魅せられました。朝の勤めの参加は暗い夜道でスリル満点。標識が見えず道を間違えたのと雨で寒く、視界不良のため身延山頂上は今回は諦めましたが良いリフレッシュの機会となりました。ありがとうございました

房間沒有廁所，公共衞生和浴室。吃的不理想，連續住了一個星期包早晚餐的温泉酒店，這裏吃的是最差的。哎，簡直了。價格不算便宜，衹有他一半價格的旅館，吃的比他好，服務比他好。這是去日本那麼多次，服務最差的酒店，沒有之一。建議攜程跟他取消合作吧。圖一這也好意思叫温泉，為了給他家展示，趁着沒人拍了一張。總之，差評。無一處讓人滿意。周邊可選擇的酒店太多了

This place is incredible. It’s worth the trip. We took the coach from Tokyo. The area is stunning, the temple was so peaceful. We stayed overnight with dinner included. The whole dining experience was like a work of art. After dinner with had an onsen. The following morning we got up at 5am, to meditate 🧘 with the monks in the temple. Truly, the best part of our trip to Japan. We wished we would have stayed longer. Thank you to all the staff! It’s not a very well known place, but that’s what made it even more unique.

Wonderful place everything was fantastic! Great service everyone was so nice and the food was perfect. Small town close by for shopping. Beautiful scenery. Lots of shrines and temples close by. Lots of activities on site like tea ceremony (book in advance) wine bath too, biking! Suggest renting car to get around the countryside even tho you can take a train from toyko Japan.

I wanted to include a temple lodging experience in my Japan trip itinerary and Kakurinbo was the perfect place for it. I'm so glad to have added a second night to the booking, as it allowed me to explore the area around - Minobu-san - which was full of history and beauty. I took part in calligraphy, which was taught patiently and I got to take home a one-of-a-kind souvenir. I also got to design and make a bracelet in a shop nearby, Google translate was essential for this but it was also delightful. The Buddhist cuisine did not disappoint, but of course this is authentic Japanese cuisine so does require an open mind to enjoy it. The room was overall comfortable and clean, the service is of a very high standard and the bath was also a real treat.

I stayed here with my 16 year old son. We were looking for something very authentic Japanese. Kakurinbo was perfect. We stayed two days after arriving in Japan and it was a great peaceful quiet way to recover from jet lag. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms very clean and spacious. We had the garden view and enjoyed green tea each morning while watching the giant koi fish in the pond. The food was Delicious and artful in presentation. Even my 16 year old son who lives in frozen pizza and ice cream was happy with the food. The wine bath was a special treat and relaxing to soak each evening with a window to view the garden. Even the map they gave us on arrival was awesome not was very detailed and had so Lucy information that was useful as well as interesting. I was sad that the first day I lost mine but the gave me another. We went each morning to the temple service and I recommend to go. During the service a monk shows the incense bowls and invites people up to burn incense. The “map” explains how to do it and watch someone go up then don’t be shy and do it. Also don’t forget to do the water purifying outside. Again, the “map” explains. We also took the ropeway to the top and we’re blessed with a view of Mt.Fuji. Thank you for a memorable time my son and I will always cherish.

Extremely nice experience in a wonderful place. We stayed just for the weekend but our memory still lives on. Incredibly nice staff, so was the quality of food, a culinaric and esthetic delight; nice and cosy traditional rooms in a wonderfully calm environment, away from the buzz of modern Japan.
