Outstanding and unique experience. Warm welcome (we arrived early and were able to check in immediately). Good location for exploring Koyasan town. Beautiful surroundings, stunning interior decor in the dining rooms, nice onsen, astonishingly good vegetarian food. The temple master made us feel very welcome at the prayer service and explained everything. Super friendly staff and smiling monks :)

The train and cable car were thrilling.
The train and cable car were thrilling. The forest surroundings gave the town a cozy feel and kept the air so fresh.. The English Guide Club provided a very knowledgeable guide, Mayumi. I learned much more than what you find in books. The burial site is really amazing - a must see. There are some great coffee shops too. It's worthy of a repeat visit.

This temple is very remote.
This temple is very remote. The area is beautiful and the hiking was great. There is an extra tour option of the cemetery. I thought with the price we were paying that this tour should have been included.AAnonymousUnited States - 8.0Scored 8.0
Pretty town, huge graveyard, worth exploring but just one...
Pretty town, huge graveyard, worth exploring but just one day needed - Either pay for the decent hotels and experience the true temple koyasan experience or book a lodging and explore the area. Our expensive (but cheapest temple room) felt super touristy and set up. Food was awful. - Its pretty long to get there from Osaka also.

I would definitely recommend the experience of staying one...
I would definitely recommend the experience of staying one night at any of the temples and also the Okonuin Night Tour is a real must! Apart from one person and the Guide (Nobu) the staff of Eko-in was somewhat arrogant and be prepared for an uncomfortable and short night, but a delicious and huge dinner and breakfast. The sights and nature are stunning and beautiful, really serene and perfect to contrast the buzz of every big City. We bought the digital Heritage Pass and tool the Limited Express Train to Koya, I would recommend! Apart from the Bus from the Cable Car to our Temple we walked to every sight by foot, since they are not far from each other and the whole town is a complex of a „Sight“. The Tokugawa Mausoleum was especially astonishing, since it’s full of Japanese history. We will absolutely visit Koyasan again, but I would not choose a Templestay again.IvanaAustria - 10Scored 10
Okunoin Cemetery night tour is a must do activity.
Okunoin Cemetery night tour is a must do activity. So much of our understanding of Japanese Buddhism and Koyasan’s role in its history was informed by the monk who was our guide. We checked out Okunoin Temple and the cemetery the next day, too. It is a very special place.

It is imperative to stay in a temple - the vegetarian meals...
It is imperative to stay in a temple - the vegetarian meals at our temple were delicious and had many courses. The town has so many temples and good hiking opportunities, we could have stayed longer - but my husband was too much of a foreigner to stay in the temple for two nights. The wonderful Okunoin Cemetery and shrine with an ancient forest was a special treat - we spent an entire morning there, and it was a nice surprise that the buddhist monks take their stewardship of the natural environment so seriously that there is even a forestry department of the temple. Other temples were equally awe-inspiring.SarahUnited States

- From KRW 122,140 per night9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 74 reviewsIf you’re like me and dream of visiting Koyasan but have to travel on a budget, this is the place for you! The owner is so kind and generous with his advice about enjoying your time exploring this incredible, historic temple town and he even makes great food, too! I highly recommend staying there. It’s also awesome how close it is to the Okunoin Cemetery, which was my favorite part of Koyasan, and also makes attending the morning prayer service much easier because of its close proximity!
Charles WUnited States - From KRW 732,840 per night9.2Scored 9.2SuperbRated superb· 1,370 reviewsThe food is exceptional. My kids were a little wary at the emphasis of "vegetarian meals" These were just plain amazing. The room was enormous - much larger than we could have needed and we spent little time there save for sleeping. The onsen was in-hotel and quite nice. The place is as-described everywhere, a Buddhist temple that you get to stay at respectfully. The room and beds were comfortable and warm - and there was snow outside the hotel.
MikeUnited States - 9.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 155 reviewscan't get more authentic than this temple stay, so you shouldn't expect too many modern conveniences. Most appreciated thought was the space heater in the tatami bed room (temperatures outside hit 0c)! The included dinner and breakfast consisted of an interesting array of vegetarian dishes, some sourced locally (ie. mushrooms). The location is right off the main road in Koyasan, and steps away from the entrance to the Okunoin cemetery.RobertSingapore

Very clean and modern, always looked forward to going back to the guesthouse after a day of exploring. Great shower and bidet. Would recommend to anyone staying at Koyasan as an alternative to temple lodging. It's a convenient location for walking to all the sights in Koyasan and for taking the bus.Ginny HangCanada
