호토지 절

寛弘4年1007年藤原道長42才の夏、御嶽詣での行きの8月9日、宝塔寺に泊まる。と有りますが。

送迎を車でしてくれ、紅葉・桜の季節に 早朝から観光できます。

お部屋も清潔で気持ちよかったです。お料理も美味しかったです。スタッフのサービスもよかったです。

ランチが美味しく 本殿が本当に立派で こんな処でコンサートが聴けたら　氣持ちがよいだろう……と思いました。 周りは自然でいっぱいです。

The location is not to far from the station, if you go by walking, but not with heavy luggage. The owner’s family was so nice! It was late when I arrived, he picked up me from the station, and showed me everything in the room and temple. The vegetarian breakfast was delicious cocked by his wife and served by his daughter, The morning chanting by him and his son was auspicious with peaceful atmosphere. I used to stay in different temples in India and China, this is the first time I stayed in a Japanese temple, the feeling was totally different, they do not ask guests to follow a lot of disciplines, even people can have non-veg food, and I also saw an ashtray outside the house(it might for smoking people), and they also allow different genders can stay in the same room. The most beautiful thing for traveller is to understand and accommodates the different cultures, too see different people and finally to see the self. I don’t understand Japanese, and they don’t know English, but we can communicate with each other. I think I will be back again.
