Truly a wonderful surprise. We decided to stay here as it was reasonably near to Koyasan (about 40-50 mins drive from Okunoin) while being much more affordable than lodgings in the main Koyasan area. You can also drive to Osaka and Kansai airport from the hotel (1 hr plus). We opted for both dinner and breakfast as the hotel's location was remote. We were blown away by the food, which was extremely delicious. For dinner, we were served a sumptuous and exquisite kaiseki meal which included both traditional dishes (e.g. matsutake mushroom soup; matsutake mushroom rice; plum soba noodles; nabe hot pot) and innovative dishes (e.g. western-style cream of mushroom soup with cheese, served in a Japanese persimmon; tempura with 3 types of salt - matcha, plum, and another flavour I didn't catch). The ingredients were all of high quality and the fish dishes in particular were very fresh. We also really enjoyed the dessert (persimmon mochi and dango). The plating of the dishes was beautiful. The breakfast was also excellent. We especially enjoyed the boiled tofu with sauce, and the half-boiled egg which was cooked to perfection. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful, particularly the gentleman who helped us to check in and guided us on our room and the hotel's facilities, and the serving ladies at the dining hall who patiently explained how to cook and consume the various dishes. We managed to communicate with the assistance of Google Translate and a combination of basic English & Japanese. The room was clean and fairly large for the price. The beds were comfortable and the blankets were thick and fluffy. The electronics charging station beside the beds with multiple USB ports was particularly convenient. The hotel also has an onsen which we enjoyed. Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay at this hotel which offered a perfect ending to our holiday in Japan.

I stayed in the old bulding and had the pleasure to listen to waterfall and frog sounds from the nearby river all night. Very soothing. The place has a great retro atmosphere, clean and nice onsen and great food. On top of that, when I inquired about public buses to Koyasan from near villages, I was told by the receptionist he will take me there the next morning via car. Free of charge. What a service!

The house was lovely and the owner very nice and kind!

Super friendly staff, they were good at trying to communicate with those who couldn't speak Japanese, loads of English written explanations if you need them. Warm and comfy rooms. Slightly set back from the most touristy part of the town which I liked. It's all so close anyway that it really isn't a bother.

We booked 2 rooms for our group of 5 and it was fantastic. Tommy is super nice with good English and took time to recommend things to do around Koyasan. The rooms were very clean, warm and comfortable

The unique experience of the morning ceremonies, nice and helpful staff, great food

There was no breakfast included

A really nice shukubo experience - definitely recommend it. You get a sense of the daily life of the monks, and it is well located next to all the main sights in Koya. In the morning, you can participate in two rituals, and they are as depicted on the photos. Hope to be back some day!
