“Everything - meals, room, staffs and morning prayers”

“The room was super clean, simple, authentic and comfortable. We chose for the room with private bath and toilet, therefore a bit pricey but was worth it. The dinner was very delicious and so nicely presented. Also breakfast was a piece of art. We appreciated giving a bit of English explanation during the morning prayer. Last but not least, very close to the Okunoin cemetery which is a must see both at night and day time.”

“Stayed in the room with a private bath called Kinmatsu (Gold Pine). Lovely. Food was served in beautiful private rooms and was tasty and filling. My second time here”

“The food was so delicious! I wouldn't say it was healthy vegetarian but it was yummy, even though there was plenty of new foods we didn't recognize. The room was beautiful, too. We loved the heated kotatsu table to keep our feet warm while drinking green tea since it was winter. It's very peaceful and calm. It is also a convenient distance from the shops in the main part of town.”

“What a wonderful property! It was very clean, peaceful, and our annex room was very large. We booked a room with a private bath, which we really enjoyed. We were also extremely impressed with the wonderful dinner — so much variety and flavor — as well as the breakfast! The monks were friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.”

“The 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.”

“I like that the place is not too crowded when I was there. It creates different atmosphere and more silent experience. The monk who taking care of us is so kind and attentive in his own way. The food was amazing. I didn’t know that vegetarians meals can be so decadent.”

“I had the opportunity to stay at two different ryokan temples while on Mt Koya. This was the second of the two, and I am glad that I had the chance to compare. Both were different experiences. Koyasan Shukubo Fudoin was a newer, shinier ryokan compared to my other temple stay. While both offered the same broad features, this temple was aimed more at upscale visitors. I read several comments about Mt. Koya while researching where bloggers complained about the temple stay experience. First, you need to know what you are going to experience. However, this is more for those who might complain about other temple experiences given the more upscale polish. What I did like about Koyasan Shukubo Fudoin was the dining room (my other ryokan temple you ate in your room), the room size and a beautiful garden.”

“Clean, priests were very welcoming and helpful. Room was spacious with comfortable futons. Attached bathroom was clean and spacious with all toiletries provided. Food was amazing. Prayer ceremony was an incredible experience.Highly recommend this lodging.”

“Beautiful hotel, great food, but lack of chairs makes its bit challenging for non-Japanese visitors”
