"It was perfect. The facilities such as the beautiful garden and hot springs were clean and nice, and the kind monk did his best to explain this and that, so I really liked it. The location was also within walking distance of famous tourist attractions such as Okunoin, Geumgang Bongsa, and Dansanggaram. It was a very satisfying and happy trip. I visited alone this time, but I definitely want to visit again with someone next time."

Our temple served as the imperial seat for Emperor Goshirakawa! The main temple building was constructed during the Edo period!

"As a solo traveller, I had a very spacious room to myself. The air-con was set to a warm 27⁰C and I moved the futon nearer to the heater. Food was outstanding though it was vegan. We had dinner and breakfast. They provided the famous Koyasan's tofu. The bath was in a shared area, but as there were only a few travellers, I had the onsen bath to myself. This place is located near the other end of Ofukuin, It took me 30 minutes to walk through the cemetery to its main temple the Masoleum of Kobo Daishi. It's also a 20 min walk to the Garan complex. There is about an hour of morning ceremony performed by the monks to attend and an intro to the temple's relics. Overall a good place to stay and offers a quiet sanctuary to think if necessary. Hey, you prefer, you can talk to the monks too. There's always a translator app."

A 7-minute walk to the Kongobuji Temple building and 3 minutes to the Buddhist altar. Guests can participate in Buddhist services in the morning.

"There was everything that you expect from a temple stay. Breakfast and dinner were very good! Be aware that there will be no fire ceremony on morning, but only a pray"

A temple lodge with the only natural hot spring in Koyasan and a garden designed by Mirei Shigemori.

"Definitely interesting experience. Partly tourist tradition, partly religious. As a new, atypical experience in Japan, the meal ritual and the vegetarian cuisine itself were interesting. Participation in the morning Buddhist prayer was valuable. Comfortable nice leather slippers. Saving hot springs on a rainy day. The strict end of the day time was inconvenient for us: the front door closed at 9 pm, and we were not allowed to linger during our walk. Quiet time from 9 p.m.Baths close at 8 and 9 pm. Thanks for the experience!🙏"

Bathrooms with shower/tub combinations feature deep soaking bathtubs and complimentary toiletries. Conveniences include phones, as well as safes and a turndown service.

"Viewed as a hotel, the stay can be described as interesting and pleasant. However, anyone expecting a deeper insight into esoteric or Shingon Buddhism will be disappointed. Of course the evening/morning rituals and the vegan food are interesting and even spectacular, but hardly anything is explained and there is no opportunity for conversation or other contact with the monks. Since the journey to/from Osaka takes at least 3.5 hours, you should definitely plan on spending 2 nights in Koyasan so that you can see the sights without rushing. My impression was that the stay primarily serves to finance the temples, and not to introduce visitors to the teachings of Shingon Buddhism or the monks' way of life. I wouldn't travel to such a remote area again for this little insight."

"A beautiful hotel. Very clean, feels renovated. This is the most delicious vegetarian breakfast and dinner! Morning at 6:30 a service, after which a small tour of the temple at which the hotel is located. Note that the hotel closes at 21:00. That is, it is impossible to get to the night on Okunoin."

"It is said to be the imperial residence of Emperor Toba and Empress. It has a beautiful environment and the hardware is new and clean. The location is good, in the middle, you can walk to major attractions in ten minutes. There is a short uphill walk to get off the bus. I booked a Japanese-style room with a bathroom. I stayed in a room on the second floor. There was a small entrance hall, a sink, and a small bathroom at the entrance. It's very cold in Mount Koya in winter. With the air conditioner and heating on, the room is very warm. The breakfast and dinner of Shojin cuisine are very sumptuous. In the morning class, the master will lead the chanting of sutras and incense, as well as Azi Temple meditation. If you want to participate in the fire offering, you need to make reservations at other temples. There are dedicated people who come to the room to take meals and morning classes, and the service is very considerate. I’ll come back next time during the red leaf season."

The temple boasts a beautiful environment and a convenient location, within a 1-kilometer walk of both Okunoin and Kongōbuji Temples. We traveled over a hundred kilometers from the seaside to reach the temple, arriving just as the afternoon sun shone brightly after a snowfall. The sounds of chanting and bells could be faintly heard, a scene remarkably similar to the lines from Wang Xin's poem: ”Deep in the mountains, the temple is far away; the clouds are cold, the bell is faint; I rejoice in the lamp among the bamboo, the house among the plum blossoms, and the spring among the rocks.”

The room was located in a stunning and truly beautiful temple. The person who welcomed us was incredibly kind and, the next morning, gave us a full tour of the temple and its different areas. The room was a bit cold in January but amazing, and the public baths were not always very convenient, but the hot onsen at the end of the day, along with the friendliness and authentic atmosphere, made the experience truly wonderful.
