My innkeeper sent me a link to the website mentioned above that will make the Moss Temple reservation for you. It costs 1,900 yen (currently about $15 US) and is worth it in my opinion. I didn't find it easily when I searched earlier but I just typed in "moss temple reservation" and this time it came right up. If that doesn't work try "reservation help Saihoji Moss Temple". You can't make the reservation earlier than two months in advance, so I haven't done it yet.
I would supply the link here but sounds like we're not supposed to post sites that are commercial on the Forum...

Aha, thanks kja.

So here is the link. The site is "Reservation Help for Saihoji moss garden".
Like I said above, you can only make the reservations about 2 months ahead max. I will do this soon as our trip is in
April.

Hi, I decided to write to the temple myself on 11/21. I collected coinage valued at 200yen from my japanese friends since no one had postage stamps. I had to tape them to the inside of the envelope then sent them off. I received a post card today to my home in Seattle, stating that I had an appointment on 12/25 at 1 pm. I will let you know more after I return from Japan. We leave in 4 days!

I wrote to our hotel concierge (we are going end-Feb) requesting them to help - they so kindly obliged! I now have a reservation waiting at the hotel (for 1.5 months) - it only took a week and no stress!
