Koyasan Shukubo Saizenin

Koyasan

Located in the sacred Koyasan area, Saizenin offers simple accommodations surrounded by mountains and many temples.

The ryokan is amazing. You immediately feel at peace and relaxed walking through the corridors on the way to your room. We found our room to be very generously spaced, with comfy beds, a great shower and bathroom. Saizenin is located right across the temple complex of Koya-san, which contains the picturesque pagoda among other beautiful buildings. Other attractions and museums are very close by, at walking distance, except for perhaps the cementery which is on the other side of the village, but if you walk 10 minutes down the street, there is a bus that leaves you right there, so it wasn't an issue for us. The building itself is in a traditional Japanese style, and of course being in Koya-san means that it is surrounded by forest, with hills to one side, and the street and temple to the other. Its courtyard is also beautiful, the entire thing feels like a museum even though it is actually the place where you are staying at :) Bottom line, staying at Saizenin is an amazing experience. The (vegan) food is unlike anything I've had before, delicious and unique. Every day, there is a meal at around 17:00, and breakfast is at 7:30 I believe, after the morning prayer. Speaking of which, going to the morning prayer in the temple is a must. The monks chant for about half an hour, and along with the beautiful interior of the space, it is a great meditation experience.

Truly an experience I’ll never forget. The Monks are all so kind and welcoming. There ceremonies, the food, the history and culture. You feel part of the family and that feeling will stay forever. The entire experience from train to cable rail car, is all part of an experience that is priceless. Nearby sites and the town itself on Mt. Koya are unbelievable.

The area Jokiin is situated in was perfect for my stay. It was in close proximity to all the historic and spiritually significant sites I wanted to see. The staff there are excellent, very passionate people who are maintaining a beautiful tradition. While I myself do not speak Japanese, the staff were more than accommodating for me and my needs.

    wonderful atmosphere in this spiritual village. Our room was exceptionally large, comfortable and both modern and traditional. It included a small zen garden and a beautiful hot bath. The top level Buddhist food was both plentiful and delicious. Wifi was good. Rooms were very clean. Keep in mind this is a traditional Japanese hotel and you have to remove shoes everywhere you go. The meditation session was short, but informative. The night tour was also interesting. The morning prayers were also moving.

    This was a beautiful experience. The temple is gorgeous. The rooms were very clean. Everything I needed was there. Joining in the meditation and listening to the morning chanting was restful. It was in a great spot, close to the road but calm and peaceful inside. It was a short walk to Koyasan village and many of the attractions.

    This place was hard to get to from Osaka but so worth it! The village is spectacular and this property offers dinner and breakfast so you can enjoy the surroundings and not worry about food. It is more traditional than other places you'd stay at, you get to experience sleeping on the floor and the food they serve is vegan.

    Excellent authentic and comfy stay in Eko-in Temple at Koyasan village! Food was an amazing experience on our first days in Japan! We also attended to morning ceremonies which were interesting (we also got some pre-information about the Buddhist ways with a Okunoin night tour).

    Authentic temple stay experience. Awesome temple - like a large Japanese villa. Simple rooms which were well worn but comfy beds. You're here for the experience though - food, onsen and morning prayer ceremony all fantastic opportunities to try something new for Westerners. We were a family with teens and all loved it!
