Koyasan
Located in the sacred Koyasan area, Saizenin offers simple accommodation surrounded by mountains and many temples. Staf was very very kind, smiling and welcoming. It was all very clean. We took of our shoes and they had shoes for the inside and also separate shoes for the toilet, so it was all very clean. Good location, around the middle of the main street. Dinner and breakfest (vegetarian) were included and it was an amazing experience and also very good. Dinner was inside our room and breakfest was after the morning ceremony and was also not too bad but just a bit small. It was across the street from danjo garan and it was amazing in day and night. Sleeping on the mats was actually not too bad at all. The ceremony was very special.

Koyasan
A Buddhist temple lodging accommodation, Kumagaiji lies amid mountains in the sacred Koyasan area. It features classic Japanese architecture and a tranquil atmosphere, adjoining a temple built in 837.... Staying at this temple was a fantastic experience. The temple was beautiful and peaceful. My room was huge and overlooked a beautiful garden. Dinner and breakfast were served in the room next to mine, accessed simply by sliding open the doors. The food was amazing. Got to pray with the monks in the morning. The monk who checked me in looked after me so well throughout my stay. I want to stay here again.

Set in Koyasan and within 37 km of Tama Museum, Guest House Suzumeno Kakurembo features a restaurant, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi. This 2-star guest house offers luggage storage space. Kind hosts, very clear “do’s” (and few “don’ts”), wonderful room and all you need, really! I loved the location as it is a “logical” start/end point for walks in Koyasan. Delicious dinner. Look no further
Wow! What a magnificent spot! You enter a whole other world when you go to Koyasan! Lots of walking, old moss-covered shrines and burial sites, beautiful forests, mountains. A super quiet little town tucked away high in the mountains. Bring your hiking shoes, there are lots of good trails. The accommodation at Hachi Hachi Guest House was excellent, wonderful host, super clean facilities, fully Japanese style accommodation. Loved it!
Maybe the most magical place I've ever been. A well-preserved, ancient city with a proud character and storied history. The temple stays are totally unique and worth a night or two – though these should be booked through the Shukubo Association. Make time for guided tours wherever you can, it's worth learning about the plentiful history in a bit of detail. Cemetery is a must-visit.
It was very small and quiet town even for friday afternoon, we didn't encounter that many tourists. I would recommend to plan ahead, the public transport is a bit scarce, there are just a few convenience stores and restaurants which can be crowded around lunch time, so prepare some backup options. The lady in the information center spoke English very well and ordered us taxi for the next day. It's a small town, but there are many places to walk around, there is a hiking trail surrounded by beautiful nature, however there are warnings of bear sights. Don't miss Okunoin cementery and the view from Daimon.
Koya-san is one of the greatest sacred places in the world. The special deep atmosphere of tranquility, cleanliness and uniqueness is there in the air. It is pretty hard to get there but it definitely worth it. Try to take a shuttle bus to get there - it is a comfortable trip that will save you some energy to explore the city upon arrival. One night might not be enough because the free time you can spend wandering around the city is basically till 4pm (and if you arrive at noon - that is a very limited time frame). After 4pm there are a lot of things you can do at the temple-hotel you are staying - like meditation, bath, dinner and night tour through the cemetery. The next morning is also busy with the ceremonies, breakfast and check-out, so you might want to get a couple of days at the same place for a peace of mind. That is exactly what this place can give you if you're willing to accept it.
The experiences of walking through the temples and cemetery were some of the best of Japan. We were lucky to be here when the world was in shut down so we didn't have to compete with crowds but it was a great place for an escape from news and the rest of the world to get in touch with nature and explore Japanese Buddhism. Really cool.
Koyasan is very atmospheric even in bad weather. I enjoyed Okunoin and the Garan temple complex a lot exploring them on a very foggy day. I hiked the old pilgrimage trail up to Koyasan, which is about 20km. During my hike the weather was great and I recommend that trail very much. Around Koyasan is also the old women's pigrimage trail which is also very nice. If you're not planning on hiking one night in Koyasan will be enough. I enjoyed my stay at a temple, which was a very unique experience. I also loved the vegan cuisine.
Koyasan
Saizen Inn is a Shukubō (Temple Lodging) and arguably one of the very best in Koyasan. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They tried their very best to explain everything regardless of the language barriers. The traditional Buddhist Meals were delicious. Koya is an amazing place, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city life and a welcome change for people who are traveling through Osaka-Kyoto-Tokyo.
Koyasan
A cozy traditional Japenese guest-house, right near the Daimon gate. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the facilities were super comfortable. The relatively low price (in comparison to the temple-stays) allowed me to enjoy Koyasan without having to pay a huge amount on accomodation.
