Overview

Located on the temple grounds are many famous historic buildings, such as the two-storied pagoda - a national treasure, the scripture house - an important cultural property, the main hall and shrine worshipping 4 deities. The rhododendron - a natural monument - is a size that suggests it is 300-400 years old. You can also experience some popular activities such as copying sutras by hand, and reading scriptures before the statue of the Buddha.

Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests generally appreciated the hotel's excellent location, cleanliness, and the unique temple stay experience including participation in morning prayers and traditional meals. The rooms were often described as spacious and comfortable, though some guests found the futon beds and pillows uncomfortable. The service was mixed with some guests feeling a lack of information and interaction with monks. The atmosphere was calm and authentic, but some noted a touristy feel. Overall, the hotel offers a memorable and culturally rich stay despite some minor discomforts.
