We stayed at 2 (shukubou-temple stay) during our visit to Koyasan. Rengejoin was far worse than the other place. In fact, the other place we stayed was great. Rengejoin’s set up is simply not workable. Most rooms have no bath so you must use a large bath area from 6pm-9pm. The only issue is that the dinner is from 6PM so you can have many people using the bath area at once. The other place we stayed at had wider time range which allowed flexibility with less guests. Rengejoin also didn't seem concerned with Covid. We felt uncomfortable with the bath arrangement as there will be numerous people in a small area at once. We asked for a room with a bath. They told us they can provide a room with a bath so we decided to take it for safety reasons but had to pay Ritz Carlton rates. The food looks impressive due to the number of dishes but the content lacked quality and it was far worse than the other place we stayed at. The main issue we had was that this place caters to foreign group tours. As we were trying to check in there were at least 40 people getting off a bus and we could hardly get through. We wanted to experience a traditional Japanese temple stay but rengejoin did NOT deliver. Our stay overall was extremely disappointing. We will never stay here again.
Très intéressant, on sort des hôtels internationaux pour être logés à la japonaise. Futons, tatamis, onsen, dîner et petit déjeuner japonais, jardin zen soigneusement ratissé. On peut même participer aux prières des moines bouddhistes. Expérience enrichissante

Hi Isabelita,
It's probably too late for you but you must book through the shukubo association which handles bookings for all of the koya-san temples.
Cheers :)
