"Good"

"Hamachidorinoyu Kaisyu is a lovely onsen ryokan. The baths were outstanding, two indoor and two outdoor, one of hinoki wood and and one of stone, slightly different in temperature to accommodate most tastes. The water views were excellent, and soaring hawks could often be seen. The food was excellent and abundant. The rooms were comfortable and clean, with the Western style bed (mattress on a low platform) quite comfortable. Nice touches were the popsicles and ice cream pops available in the lounge room outside the onsen in the afternoon, and the lactic acid drink available in the mornings. Situated within walking distance of the Senjojiki Rock Plateau and Sandanbecki Caves and Cliffs, and with a bus stop at the top of the driveway for easy access to Shirarahama Beach, an outdoor foot bath, Banshoyama Park, and the aquarium, there were many walking and sight-seeing opportunities. A wonderful experience!"

"The location surrounding with many small shops that is attractive. Staff are helpful."

"Amazing experience! Our room was beautiful and the hotel is in a great area for walking aroind Koyasan. I used the onsen and had it to myself. Both the dinner and breakfast meals were amazing, as was partaking in the morning prayer"

"We enjoyed our stay very much. The outdoor spa, especially the ones with ocean views are exceptional. The dining hall is huge. The breakfast and dinner buffets provide high quality and many varieties of food. Shuttle ferry / bus are convenient. The sunrise and sunset at the viewing platform are beautiful."

"Sea view is incredible "

"A very different experience for a foreigner, and one that I cherished as a student of Buddhism. If you aren’t adventurous, I don’t recommend it, and if you go, please be curious, open, and full of respect. The non-sleeping rooms will be very cold in winter, the food served is the food served, without changes available, there are rules about which slippers to wear where and what can be photographed, etc. If you’re interested in deep travel (versus hedonism), you will be gifted and changed. Otherwise, please don’t go. "

"Syukubo Eko-in is highly recommended. The food here is excellent and staff is very friendly and helpful. The whole atmosphere is serene"
