Fantastic experience. This monastery competes with any good hotel in my eyes. The monks were very friendly and spoke enough English. The food was delicious. The praying room fabulous. And the praying ceremony, magical.

Great experience in a traditional monastery with very friendly staff and an optional morning session to participate in. Make sure you have your dinner on time in koyasan as a lot of place start closing between 4 and 6 PM.
