Great place to stay in Koyasan. The place is new and very clean. Design is a mix of traditional Japanese tatami with a modern bed. The hosts make sure you understand how everything works. Short walk to main temples. Great value for money!

We really loved our stay in this Komyo-in Temple. We participated in the evening meditation, the morning prayer and fire ceremony. The dinner and the breakfast was very delicious and we were really pleased that during our dinner our bed was prepared for sleep. The location is very nice, it is very close to Okunoin cemetary. This was the highlight of our Japan tour and we really recommend vist Koyasan.

From the reception to the checkout, everything was perfect. The monks were friendly and extremely helpful as well as being discrete. The complex is set back from the road so it is really peaceful. Dinner is served around 17:30 and is absolutely delicious. You are in a private room screened off from the other guests. The dinner is a highlight of the stay in Koya-san. I would just advise that this experience is not really recommended for younger kids and teenagers with limited food options. Dressing up in a yukata may be fun but a 9pm curfew and peaceful atmosphere isn't conducive to rest and relaxation either for them or the other guests. If you intend to do the night tour of the cemetery just remember the curfew. In summer nightfall is around 7:30. Before breakfast we participated in the morning service with everything explained in English A unique experience on Koya-san and an interesting insight into Buddhist practice.

Super! 100% recommended! Very kind host. Also great welcome with lots of information about what to do in Koyasan. It was also very clean. The 2 showers and 2 toilets were more then enough. The pocket rooms slept very good. It is located next to the cemetery, so good for doing the evening walk. We had a great stay. Thank you!

The location is close to everything. Highly recommend the evening tour of the cemetery!! One of the monks took us around, told us all about the cemetery and it’s history and some basics of Japanese Buddhist beliefs and legends. It was a highlight of my entire Japan trip. It was great to experience the morning prayer ceremony also. We were so grateful to be welcomed and get to see a small part of life for the people living at yochi in. The food was simple but lovely and the futon was surprisingly comfortable. There is a convenience store very close by which was great 😊

The dinner and breakfast were wonderful, and very carefully prepared. The room was a beautiful traditional-style one, with tatami and futon. The staff were all extremely helpful and kind, and we were even able to purchase some charms. The public bath was very clean and well-kept, and it was interesting to experience it. Thank you for a lovely stay!

What an amazing experience! Friendly and welcoming staff, well maintained and spotless clean traditional japanese room. Using the onsen is very relaxing in the evening after the vegetarian dinner full of unknown tastes and consistencies. Taking part of the morning meditation is highly recommended. It was a great place to stay and have a local experience in Japan. Koyasan is not too crowded which makes it wonderfull.

Dinner was fantastic. Our room was really clean and spacious. The staff gave me a chair in our room and at meals as I am six months pregnant which was so kind, as I could not sit on the floor. The gardens and buildings were beautiful. Good location and easy to catch nearby buses to the cemetery and station. Made it back no stress after the night tour.

We stayed indoors after check-in as it was raining all day. It was a good decision to just relax and enjoy the serene and beautiful location. Tasty vegetarian dinner was promply served in our spacious and very clean room by attentive staff, on our chosen time, then our beds were made up after dinner. It was beautiful to experience the morning prayer before breakfast. I wish we had stayed at least 2 nights to enjoy the beautiful Mount Koya and its nature.
