Koyasan
Located at the heart of Mount Koya, Koyasan Onsen Fukuchiin Shukubo offers Japanese-style accommodations in a historical Buddhist temple. Everything was fantastic. The temple was so serene with stunning garden views from our room. There was a beautiful room for coffee in the mornings that overlooked one of the other gardens that was available in the mornings. We were able to start one of our mornings having coffee while watching the snow fall into the garden. IT was just amazing. We also attended the calligraphy class during the evening and the monk who helps show us how to write the prayer was very helpful and welcoming. The onsen in the temple was clean and so relaxing. Overall, our stay at Fukuchiin was brilliant. Couldn't have loved my time there more.

The whole ambiance. Also, the staff is wonderful. Emiko made sure that we get to fully immerse and appreciate staying in one of the shukubo temples in Koyasan. We were the only guests so it felt more special and exclusive. Thank you also to Kumagaiji's chief priest (Shinko Azuma) for giving us an unforgettable moment by performing Goma ritual even though we were the only guests. This is how I wanted to celebrate my birthday and I was so glad I chose Kumagaiji because they truly exceeded my expectations!
What Guests Said About Koyasan:
-
Koya-san is one of the greatest sacred places in the world.
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...
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.
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.

A must visit when you are in Japan. Particularly the world heritage cemetery and mausoleum and temple in the giant cedar forest. Awesome!! In winter food at night is a little limited if not eating at the temple you are staying in

Very very beautiful and tranquil, with many temples and shrines and fabulous food. Wonderful for quiet relaxation. The bus system is super easy to use and you can get a bus pass. We would have enjoyed a longer stay, but it is *very* cold in January. I do NOT recommend winter!

Koyasan was absolutely stunning with so many sights and nature. The highlight for us was the Okuinin Cemetary, which we visited with our monk hosts in the evening and then by ourselves in the morning. The place felt so spiritual and we were very inspired by our visit. Many of the stores were closed due to the holiday but they looked very cute and full of local artisan crafts and spiritual relics. We definitely felt we could have stayed longer and will stop again on a future trip.

Koyasan Zofukuin
Koyasan
It was a great experience to stay in a temple in Koyasan and experience the monks prayers. It was the first place we stayed that had an onsen (one for women and one for men) - which was a modern metal bath. The Buddhist vegetarian food was great too - served promptly at 5:30pm and 7am straight after chanting. Zokfukuin is right in the centre of Koyasan with all the main sites within easy walking distance.

Jokiin
Koyasan
Beautiful place for a temple stay at Mount Koya. Don’t expect staying in a hotel, you’re in a temple that welcomes guests in quiet, basic rooms. Price might seem high but the income generated helps to maintain the (well-kept) temple premises. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Vegetarian breakfast and dinner are really excellent. Guests who so wish can attend the early morning ceremony.

Sekishoin
Koyasan
From $86 per nightFood and room was great. Because we picked an off peak week, we were able to get upgraded to a private bathroom for no extra cost. It was temple accommodation in Koyasan, so we enjoyed the temple atmosphere and beautfiul walks in nature, also visiting temples and gardens.

Koyasan Shukubo Fudoin
Koyasan
From $114 per nightThe dinner was truly fantastic and beautiful, as was the breakfast after the prayer service. Fudo-in is great because you're located right between the two ends of Koyasan, in easy walking distance to both.
