The location, facilities, environment, food, bathing, etc. all have meanings and meanings, but these are not intrusive, and are due to the fact that they are adjacent to Eiheiji Temple. As soon as you enter the facility, you are enveloped by the scent of incense, and Robiichi is small but beautiful. The rooms are clean and take advantage of the best aspects of Japanese and Western style. It's not fancy, but the high-quality beds and furniture are simple and comfortable. I can see guests relaxing by the window of their guest rooms, looking out at the stream in front of them, and I found myself doing the same thing with a cup of coffee in hand. For meals, you can choose between vegetarian cuisine and regular cuisine, but we recommend vegetarian cuisine. It had a lot of flavor and even my husband was full. (Maybe it was because I ate Soichi Sukatsudon for lunch.) The inn is connected to Eiheiji Temple of the Soto sect, and I was able to participate in the meditation experience (starting at 3:30 p.m.) and the morning service (from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.). I can. You will also be given special access to the Dharma Hall and Buddhist Hall under the guidance of a monk. There was no elevator, so there was a lot of climbing up and down stairs, so it was difficult for elderly people with walking disabilities. On that day, 18 rooms were full and there were about 20 to 24 participants, six of whom were foreigners who were sitting in the front row, meditating enthusiastically. We gathered at Lobby 1 and listened to the explanation before walking to Eiheiji Temple, but since most of the explanation was in Japanese, I thought it would be a good idea to give them an English guide in advance. Even with the explanations in Japanese, there were some parts that I didn't understand, such as technical and historical terms. As for the customer base, I imagine that 70-80% of the customers are women. The public bath is not large, but perhaps because my schedule was a little off, I was able to reserve it for myself and enjoy a relaxing soak. I checked in in late October wearing a thin autumn coat, but I made the correct decision to wear down jackets for work the next morning. The inn's private parking lot is separate and charges a fee, but there is a nearby parking lot that costs 300 yen a day and allows you to enter and exit freely. Other guests were also parked there.
