I stayed at two temples in Koyasan and this one was much inferior to the first one. They do not serve any meals. The staff was not very welcoming and cordial. They only offer one option to bath at night and nothing the morning. They also only offer one temple experience in the AM at 6:30. They were not helpful to assist visitors to determine where to sit and how to participate in the service. Would suggest you do your research in choosing a temple. The price was very good and I guess one gets value for what was the price.

This location is so quiet and serene. It was a privilege to watch the monks morning prayers. Rooms were large. Location was walkable to the various sights. I misunderstood the webpage when I booked and thought that dinner and breakfast were included but no meals are served here. I’m not sure if it is the time of year or whether it is always the same but local restaurants seemed to only be open from 9 to 4.

No hay buena atención, no brindan agua caliente para beber un té a pesar del frío. Al momento de irnos llovía, hacia frío, pero no nos ofrecieron llamar a un taxi. Decepcionada.

Exactly as advertised and expected!
We were here for the temple stay experience which was in our bucket list, so had accepted the high cost for the nights stay as one of those things. Accommodation is sparkling clean and new, but very very basic. Public bath is small and very basic. There is no shower available in the morning at all. Food was good at dinner and breakfast - all Japanese. Service was very good. The prayer ceremony started bang on time, and was just about half an hour. It was as expected, something to experience. Property is in a fantastic location so close to all attractions of Koya making it possible to stay one night and see everything. Although curfew after 9pm is noted in the website, they must have succumbed to the pressures of tourists, we were told the small gate is open all night. During our stay, we noticed that there was not one Japanese tourist... They were happy to let us leave our car until check in time as well as a couple of hours after check out. The staff were perfectly efficient and helpful, if a bit stiff - as can be expected of monks...

Unique cultural experience
We had a good garden view, and the temple provided everything needed. Everything is maintained and cleaned well. Morning prayer was a unique experience definitely worth joining. Hot bath is nice. However, the food will not suit everyone's taste.

Wonderful temple stay experience
This was a wonderful stay and Koyasan is an absolutely beautiful place. The monks were extremely accommodating, laid out all of the rules for us and times, and the room itself was the exact experience we were looking for from a temple experience.

Great experience
Thought that futon would be very uncomfortable. But the futon is very soft, and at night, the area is so quiet. That I haven't slept so well for so long. The public bath is good too. It warmed me up after a long day outside in the cold weather.

Traditional Buddhist Monastery
As a Syukubo, a Monastery offering travelers boarding and an insight into their daily life, rooms are equipped only with the most necessary items. However, this is expected as the monks are living a very simple life style. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We were greeted and welcomed into their home with rice cakes and a cup of tea. There are no options to dine but guests are invited to join the morning prayers and receive a blessing for safe travels before leaving.

Very practical temple. Bus stop and parking in front of it, in the middle of Koyasan. Futons are convenient and the room has its own bathroom. The Onsen are clean and proper. Check in between 3 and 5 pm. Monks would wait for your evening excursions. No dining or breakfast. Only negative point is that the pillows are made of wood or seeds, very tough…

コロナの関係か、しばらく食事の提供はされていないとの事。その事は事前に確認もしてあったし承諾済みだったが・・・、まさか多くの飲食店が16:00に閉店するとは‼️ ちょっとリサーチ不足を痛感。コンビニが近いので問題は無いですが、お店で食べるならお早めに。 朝のお勤めも新鮮な感じで良かったです。

お部屋が新しくてとてもきれいで快適に過ごさせていただきました。お風呂もきれいで、他の方と一緒にならない工夫もしてくれていて、よかったです。 確認不足でコロナ禍で食事がでないことを当日知ったので、精進料理を楽しみにしていたのにコンビニの食事になってしまったのは残念でした。 それがあっても、お部屋のきれいさと快適さは勝ります。 朝のお勤めに参加できたのもよかったです。 場所も壇上伽藍と金剛峰寺に近く、夜散歩に行けたのもいい思い出になりました。
