Ryokan Koyasan Shukubo Fudoin

648-0211 Wakayama, Koyasan, Ito-gun Koyacho Koyasan 456, Japan –

Lock in a great price for Koyasan Shukubo Fudoin – rated 9.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

One of my favorite places during my two weeks in Japan. The monks here are incredibly kind and humble. The inn is gorgeous. The landscaping is gorgeous. The room view is beautiful and plenty of room for 3 guys. The only inn I stayed at which had a kotatsu (even better a sunken kotatsu). Breakfast is grouped with others after their morning service. Dinner is private. Both meals were excellent.

Cody, United States of America

The place was very beautiful and it did feel like a very relaxing retreat to relax your mind. The night walk arranged by a nearby temple is recommended, as it was very educational, but wrap up warm for it! The vegetarian meals was very very good, and definitely worth trying. The moutains are very beautiful and we would recommend 2 nights, but the cost considering it was a temple is much higher than i would have expected.

Sze, United Kingdom

The experience of being among the monks, the opportunity to attend the morning prayer with them and the AWESOME shojin ryori dinner, one of the tastiest of our 1-month trip in Japan

Enrique, Spain

Everything about the Temple Stay was worth it. The customer service and temple facilities can be compared to Hotels in Town. The monks also speak good english. And this place is also located at a walking distance from the bus stop as well as the UNESCO Heritage Site - Okunoin. Fudo-in may be a little costly, but it's worth every cent!

Farid, Singapore

Dinner and breakfast was just to die for! Morning ritual Onsen

Chung, Netherlands

Everything was perfect. Located in a temple town high on the beautiful Koyasan, close to the serene and famous Okunoin cemetery. The monks were very helpful and kind and the meal was unbelievably delicious. One of the most amazing experiences of my first trip to Japan.

This property is a ryokan, which is a type of traditional Japanese Inn. Learn more

What's a ryokan?

A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They usually feature bathhouses, multicourse dinners, communal spaces where guests can relax, and rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon mats. Like hotels, a range of ryokans (from budget to luxury) is available. What originated centuries ago as a free rest house for long-distance travelers has evolved into a popular destination for relaxation surrounded by therapeutic mineral springs.
What are the big differences between a ryokan and a hotel?

Unlike a hotel, where the guest room is just a place to turn in for the night, a ryokan is more than just a place to sleep. In Japan, many travelers journey long distances to relax in a hot spring bath and feast on a traditional multicourse dinner – staying in a ryokan is an experience in and of itself. These ryokans typically have Japanese-style rooms with woven-straw floors and futon beds (no Western beds and carpeting). You should also remove your shoes at the entrance of the room, or before you enter it. Modern ryokans might serve buffet-style meals in a dining area, while more traditional ryokans tend to serve in-room dinners. Some ryokan rooms have a private bathroom, and others might just have a shared bathroom.
What's a kaiseki meal?

Kaiseki is the culinary highlight at a ryokan, embodying beautifully presented dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. Every one of the 10 to 15 dishes that make up the multicourse Japanese dinner is prepared in a way that highlights the unique textures, colors, and flavors of featured seasonal ingredients and local specialties. Most commonly served at special restaurants and ryokans, a traditional kaiseki dinner usually consists of bite-size appetizers, fresh sashimi (raw fish, like sushi), soup, grilled fish or meat, a hot-pot dish, rice with miso soup, and a small dessert.
What's a yukata?

A yukata is a casual summer kimono or robe, typically made of light cotton. Many ryokans provide guests with yukata robes during their stay. In some areas, it's common to see guests strolling through the neighborhood in their yukatas. The loose-fitting garment is perfect for sleeping and relaxing in.
How should I wear a yukata?

First, put your arms through the sleeves like you would with a robe. Take the right side of the yukata and wrap it across your body. Then, take the left side and wrap it over the right, making sure that the robe is level at your ankles. Pinning the yukata closed on the right side, wrap the sash around your waist a couple of times and then tie a bow. Generally, the bow is tied around the waist for women, and the hips for men.
What's a Japanese hot spring (onsen)?

Onsen (literally "hot spring") is a term often used to refer to both the mineral-rich hot springs and the bathing facilities that house them. Whether the bath is public or private, gender-segregated or mixed, indoor or outdoor, soaking and unwinding in the soothing geothermal waters at an onsen is a millennia-old custom deeply embedded in Japanese culture.
What's standard bathing etiquette?

At a bathhouse—onsen or not—guests are expected to remove all clothing in their respective changing rooms before entering the bathing area. As a common courtesy, once inside the bathing area, guests should wash and rinse their bodies thoroughly before quietly stepping into the hot water. Whether you relax in solitude or converse softly with others is up to you, but guests should always be mindful of others. Wash towels are often used to cover one’s private areas while walking around. However, note that you should not put towels in the water.
Why are tattoos not allowed?

While tattoos have become more popular among Japan's youth, many Japanese people still associate them with outlaws and organized crime. Nowadays, not all businesses ban customers with tattoos, but you might still be refused admission to bathhouses and swimming pools. Small tattoos can be covered up using waterproof bandaids, but keep in mind that each property has the final say on what’s acceptable.
