Located in Koyasan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Jokiin offers free private parking. All rooms include a flat-screen TV. Certain rooms have a seating area where you can relax. Beautiful place and gardens, excellent and nice personal, awesome food, very nice and comfy room.
A 1000 year-old Buddhist temple, Shukubo Koya-san Eko-in offers Japanese-style accommodations, a beautiful garden and free WiFi. Really liked the whole experience. You’re shut away from the busy big city life, can join meditations and have time to refocus. The traditional ryokan rooms are very pretty, not much in there to distract you, but rather to appreciate that less is more. The food was absolutely delicious, traditional but nothing “weird” (def. had some othe experiences with traditional breakfasts). Definitely recommend to do the graveyard night walk tour.
Koyasan Guest House Tommy is located in Koyasan, a 17-minute walk from Nyonindo. The 1-star guesthouse has air-conditioned rooms with a private bathroom and free WiFi. Tommy guest house are very nice, hospital, guest-care oriented, traditional Japaneses family! Breakfast was amazing! The best western style breakfast I ever had in Japan! The Japaneses style room and bed so clean, with wonderful forest view! Far exceed my expectation!
Featuring a garden, Koyasan Shukubo Fudoin is located in Koyasan in the Wakayama region, a 20-minute walk from Nyonindo. This 3-star ryokan offers luggage storage space. It's a perfect temple lodging in mountains.
Koyasan Guest house Kokuu is located in Koyasan, famous as the world headquarters of the Koyasan Shingon sect of Japanese Buddhism. Guests can enjoy the on-site bar. I will give it a 5 star rating and hope to be back soon sometime to this gem of a little town and stay once again at Koyasan Guesthouse Kokuu. Its a small place run by Ryochin and Paul, who take excellent care of you. The place is extremely clean. The heater keeps the place nice and warm. Lovely dinner and an amazing breakfast at the Guesthouse. Do have their breakfast as they make their own bread which is really really good. The capsule beds were perfect and clean. The location is right next to the Okunoin cemetery and there is a short cut you can take to get to the main mausoleum. The bus stop is just opposite the guesthouse. Must stay at this property.
Located at the heart of Mount Koya, Koyasan Onsen Fukuchiin Shukubo offers Japanese-style accommodations in a historical Buddhist temple. Loved this place!!! It was exactly what I imagined and more. Do yourself a favour and stay as long as you can. The rooms very amazing and the service was 2nd to none. They made your beds for you while you're out sightseeing and then the next morning, make you breakfast in your room. It was perfect! Thanks Lina-san for being an amazing host! :)
Located in Hashimoto, Yadori Onsen Iyashinoyu has accommodations with free WiFi, mountain views, and access to a hot spring bath. Everything- it was very clean, the breakfast tasty and the staff- WOW. We reached the Hashimoto station at 11 pm... due to a very long delay in Xiamen CHina. The manager waited for us and took us to the hotel- a drive of 30 minutes, a mountain road full of curves that 2 cars can’t pass... and in the morning some other driver from the staff brought us to our next stop in Koyasan. I don’t think that there are many like them.
Tamayura no Sato offers accommodations in Kimino. Sakai is 27 mi away. All units are air conditioned and include a seating area. There is also a kitchenette, equipped with a fridge and stovetop. The staff did not speak english yet they were all helpful and nice!
Newly opening in March 2014, Hotel Route Inn Hashimoto offers free Wi-Fi throughout the property, and is located a 6-minute drive from JR Hashimoto Train Station. Spotless room and bathroom! Hotel is very impressive with beautiful entrance and lobby and very courteous staff. Best breakfast buffet! It was a wonderful experience to stay there.
Hotel Nosegawa is offering accommodations in Nosegawa. Each guest at the 2-star property can enjoy river views from the rooms, and has access to a hot spring bath. Dinner and breakfast were fabulous and we were served in a dining room that had chairs (oh joy!). The staff were great and we were given a ride back to the Kohechi in the morning. I'd stay here again.
I spent two nights at Koyasan. For people interested in esoteric Buddhism and ancient temple architecture, this place is memorable, one-of-a-kind. If staying on the West side, it's best not to stay too far from the intersection since bus service is infrequent. This side has the museum, a lower priority if time is limited, Kongobuji head temple, and an important temple complex which includes the red pagoda, Konpon Daito, and many interesting buildings. The East side has the Okunoin cemetery and the mausoleum of Kobo Daishi which are a good walk and worth it!
Koyasan is the peaceful place of the world. I am inspired by my friend's trip. It was an accidental trip of him, during he was in a flight going to Japan, he saw a leaflet about Koyasan and curious to know what is Koyasan, then he decided to change his trip immediately to visit Koyasan instead. I got a card from OKUNOIN a drawing of KUKAI a master of Buddhist Shiren, i am very appreciated, When I read his review and listened to his story and try to imagine how's peaceful and wonderland, and we plan to visit together. This place is a miracle place, not everybody can reach here, 2 years later that I plan to visit here, but this trip I have to come alone because he was busy. I was very serious how could I travel alone at a place that I've never been and also Ryokan there are full and flights were expensive at that Time. A night before all reservation, I beg to KUKAI for my attention visiting Koyasan, then tomorrow morning my reservation of flight and Ryokan is complete with sharp price. It was an alone trip and it was my first time travelling alone. I was nervous until i arrived, oh my god unbelievable I felt " I am home." It is very good experience of travel, and I will visit Koyasan again soon.
A very special experience, if you are interested in this type of travel experience! No beds tatami matts with mattres and a comforter. Simple living !The hikes and points of interest like temples and cemetery are very powerful. Not to mention a Redwood forest!
‘temple lodgings’ with no facilities or amenities might be OK for $50 a night but when Saizenin charges $260, off season, for a single - that’s a dreadful ripoff. Ridiculous that you are not allowed to use the showers in the morning before departure. There is no Onsen on site - even though Booking.com shows timings for its use. So have demanded refund.
Favorite spots would be the temple lodging, lantern hall, museum, and the old historical temples in Koyasan. Food in the temple was amazingly delicious. There was a Japanese confectionary shop nearby Daimon gate, the red bean soft rice cakes were tasty. The red bean aroma could be smelled from outside. The bus route in Koyasan is pretty simple and explanatory. For activities, I would suggest cemetery night tour and the museum.
We were here only one night. Shame. We missed the Cemetery by daylight, only in the evening. That was dark :) Due to the damage of the cyclone the traveling took more time. The village was interesting. The atmosphere on the streets quite sober. Hardly any places to have dinner. But we were warned about that so we had dinner in the temple. The old trees were great to see, and the temple places. very impressive.
We had high hopes for this temple accommodation in Koyasan, unfortunately it didn't meet our expectations. What's there to like? The quiet, secluded location at a short distance of Koyasans main center. Also, the temple itself is one of the older ones around. The public baths were quit basic but very welcome after a long hike. Our room had a little indoor terrace with two chairs, which was also nice. That's pretty much all the positive things I can come up with. Last, but not least the room featured a brand new washlet/toilet.
Interesting trip, you get to stay in the temple for the night, bath in an onsen and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. In the morning you can assist to the prayer, an enlightening experience. The facilities are clean. There’s public bathroom and onsen (1 per genre). Family Mart less than 5 minutes from the temple, in case you don’t order meals from the temple. Temple close to points of interest, 500 m from the center of the town (Koyasan is small). Just in front of a bus stop to/from Koyasan station.
Great overnight stay with the monks at this traditional Buddhist temple. The staff were extremely hospitable and spoke English well enough. The meals were superb and the food was plentiful. Really enjoyed the traditional Japanese experience of futon sleeping and the onsen, along with the early morning prayers. A bit of a trek to get there from Kyoto but worth it!
It’s our 1st time to spend 2 nights in a temple- with all what it means. The experience was unbelievable. The staff was very nice, the room spacious,clean. The meals- vegetarians as it can be in a Buddhist temple- were various and very tasty. And above all - the location. Can’t be better- in walking distance to all the highlights of Koyasan.
The staff is superb and the vegan food is really good. It is super quiet and we had a very beautiful view in our room to the Japanese garden. The onsen, despite being public, is really good and clean. Totally recommend. Rooms are really beautiful and it’s very central in koyasan.
The Ryokan is inside a shrine complex in the historic town of Koyasan. Location and atmosphere are great. Comes with vegetarian Japanese dinner and breakfast which were both great. In the morning there is a sunrise ceremony open to the guests.
It exceeds my expectations, room is very spacial with wonderful view. it is more like a temple not only a temple-like hotel. The clothes provided are the ones for monk, while other temple-like hotels offer normal Yukata.
Great experience of sleeping in a Buddhist temple. Experiencing the morning ritual was one of the most unique things we experienced in Japan! The food was really delicious and very well prepared and presented.
Arguably The most beautiful temple of Koyasan for the gardens, the small lake with carps, and the amazing hot bath, Onsen and rotenburo (open-air onsen).
Feel like at home. Great people and room. Highly recommend. We get a family room with bath. Breakfast was perfect, best in the Koyasan!
Perfect location to see all the temples and the entire town of Koyasan
Located just opposite to the Garan, Koyasan’s main temple complex.
Amazing experience. If you stay anywhere in Koyasan, stay here.
Beautiful setting, delicious food, and a totally unique experience.
