About Kokuu Koyasan is historically regarded as one of the most sacred mountains in Japan. In particular, it is a holy ground representing the Shingon sect of esoteric Buddhism, with a history dating back twelve hundred years. Rich in history and culture, Koyasan is a very spiritual place for both Buddhists and non-Buddhists. It is a very beautiful place, and is worth visiting whilst traveling in Japan. We are proud to have opened the first guesthouse in Koyasan, allowing travelers and pilgrims from all over the world to visit this beautiful place at an affordable price. An oasis of simple comfort, we created Koyasan Guesthouse Kokuu in a modern style that stays true to the essence of this sacred mountain. We will be happy to recommend you the best places in Koyasan. It is our goal to make your stay a most memorable and enjoyable experience.
