Wonderful staff happy to help in every way. I was fortunate enough to join their Friday evening meditation class which exceeded expectation. It’s only a small hotel and the window in my room had no views. The location is not exactly central but manageable.

Lovely Zazen meditation offered free for the hotel residents by monks in the temple nearby. Learnt how to do Zazen properly. Mind refreshed after days of sightseeing and touristic excitement. Rooms are spacious (compared to most city hotels), clean and reasonable price.

Loved zen vibes and tatami floor. The location is convenient if you like to walk and explore. It takes 10-15min to Tenoji station by foot and there’s shopping malls and lots of restaurants (less tourists which I liked) I would walk to Namba area, it took me maybe 25min. Staff are friendly and helpful. Very clean. Only down side is they don’t have a coin laundry but there is a laundromat 3 min away.

Very nice Buddhist hotel

This hotel has a Buddhist theme. The rooms are Japanese style, clean & very comfortable Staff are very friendly. The only downside was I didn't think the breakfast was quite worth the price but it's good to do once. Finally it seems remote but it really isn't a number of great local places in under 10 mins walk and lots in 20 Recommended

Really special spot. The gentleman at the front desk opened up the zazen room for me to participate in a live program the evening I arrived. Tons of Buddhist literature and instructions if you are interested in that! Super cozy room, comfy beds and sleep attire. They give you the cutest slippers to take home and offer you a bag of silica to use to soak with in the bath. Truly a unique and special place. So grateful to have stayed there. I love the traditional tatami mat with all the added comforts (warm toilets).
