Tochigi? Temple stay ?

This accommodation is directly operated by Nikko Toshogu Shrine, one of the most famous shrines in Japan. At the entrance there is a stump of a 700-year-old sacred tree. Koyoen features hot springs. There was no one else there in the early morning, so I had the bath to myself. It was a very luxurious experience.

It is a sacred place of mountain worship that was established approximately 1,300 years ago. There are a variety of rooms, from large ones to private ones, and it is so large that it is hard to believe it is located in the mountains. The next morning, prayers were held at the main hall at 7am.
