Staying at the Choeizan Enkyoji Temple was definitely a worthwhile experience. It is located in the International District, and could not be more convenient for transportation. It’s perfect for taking the Link Line in from the airport, has easy access to TONS of bus lines, and is less than a block away from the Amtrak station.
Mike was a great host. He has tons of knowledge of local eateries and places to go. Plus he’s just an interesting guy to talk to. And a great cook. The Japanese style breakfast was delicious!
Although the temple is not in a traditional space, it has a lovely and peaceful feel to it. The bed was super comfortable, and it was fun to try to spot Hanako the cat wandering about. Overall, a great experience in every way. Highly recommended.
