The staff were very unfriendly to me ( English ) but I can speak Japanese . Asked about breakfast /coffee and if they had a bed or futon...just told to forget it and go away . ( They were too busy watching TV to answer my stupid questions) Never even got to the price part. It is though a beautiful temple complex, well worth a visit though perhaps not a stay . No information whatsoever on their web site, no pictures of the rooms nor prices , not a good sign !

2019.5.3 I discovered this when I visited Saikyoji Temple!Even though it was a youth experience, it was blessed with a wonderful natural environment! ️A day trip from Minoh, Osaka, is enough, but I'd like to stay the night and greet the morning.It will be unavailable for renovation until around July.

Facilities inside the temple. Since it also serves as a training center, you may not be able to stay overnight.
