Ekoin Temple is a stunning piece of architecture and the rooms are absolutely wonderful. Despite the winter cold, we were able to keep the room warm with the provided heater. I loved the bathroom, very clean and comfortable and beautiful design. The futons were comfortable, service kind and attentive and the food was delicious. One night was way too short!

Our best stay in Japan, an experience we will never forget. The temple itself is a beautiful, peaceful place just a few steps away from Okunoin. Our room was spacious and clean, really comfortable and equipped with everything we needed: yukata and tanzen, towels and toothbrush, tea set; toilets were shared but located in the same corridor. The food was light yet delicious and made us feel full and happy :) The monks have been welcoming and we really apprecciated having the chance to attend the ceremonies and the meditation held in the beautiful main hall; they communicate in english and in the room you can find detailed english information about the activities. We didn't use it because we had other plans but there is also a onsen for the guests. We left Koyasan feeling so serene and wish to be back one day!

This was incredible- the monks were the best as was the staff- this is def the upper scale of the temple stay experiences- rooms were VERY nice ( full tv ac bathroom etc) the communal baths were very cool and so needed after a day hiking about , dinner and breakfast were ELABORATE 10-20 wee courses, beautifully laid out and in a 450 years old dining space, I attended the morning g prayers which was so worth it- when I arrived early I asked if I could just leave my bag but they just showed me to my room earl- SO kind- the property is stunning, room view stunning, location perfect!! I came from Kyoto on the 8:10AM Keihan bus DIRECT from Kyoto station, drop off at Koyasan buss station- 5 min walk to Fu Doin- going back to Osaka hah! Bus to the Cable car, cable car, 3 trains mamma mia….anyways, DO THIS- Koyasan do not miss: the cemetery!

Just a wonderful place to stay in Koyasan, warm and cosy with no fuss, it was a pleasure to go back there at the end of cold winter days. The owner is great, speaks english and will make sure you have all needed information to make the best out of your time in Koyasan. Make sure not to miss out on the curry and the breakfast. I'll certainly stay again there next time.

I emergency booked this place at the last minute as my hiking plans were interrupted by a bear. Within 10 mins of booking I arrived and was immediately greeted with open arms by Paola. Paola is an incredible host and an amazing person who went above and beyond to provide unbelievable food, inside information on the unmissable parts of Koyasan (including fire ceremonies), an intracate and beautifully designed home, and a cappuchino that far surpassed the expectations of even a Melbournian. Staying at Koyasan Space, though not originally part of my travel plans, was the highlight of my trip and will be something I remember forever. I was very lucky to have encountered that bear in the forest, as it lead me to this amazing experience. Thank you very much Paola.

This is a world heritage site not to be missed.

This is a world heritage site not to be missed. The kindness and quiet beauty and the FOOD were heavenly. A friend suggested we go and stay a night in a temple for the full experience, (although a day trip is fine,) and we are so glad that we did. The Buddhist Okunoin cemetery is the largest in Japan and is lit by lanterns at night for a beautiful otherworldly (but actually this world! ;) unforgettable evening walk. Beautiful temples and sacred sites to visit, and many shops and little cafes to enjoy. We stayed in the Sanboin temple and were so delighted by our experience.

Don't miss touring the cemetery.

Don't miss touring the cemetery. It is amazing with so many different types of monuments and statuary. We toured it without a guide during the day light hours and feel that we really didn't miss anything by not seeing it by moonlight. The town has an ancient feel to it and is worth spending at least one night. I just wish that there were more choices for hotels as the only choices seem to be a Guest House and a multitude of Monasteries.

Koyasan is a historic, spiritual, naturally beautiful location. The ability to be around active temples and attend fire ceremony was unforgettable. The information center and excellent bus system made it easy to navigate. However, if you like to walk, most sights are easily walked to, as it is quite flat. There were several nice coffee houses and the place that offers night tours of Okunoin also is a bar in the evening, serving excellent local craft beers. A surprise.

I came here for the history and the experience of staying in a monastery/pilgrim lodging, but I left with much more than that, as all the people I met here were wonderful, from fellow travelers to local cafe owners. One word of advice would be to take your time exploring Oku no In cemetery, as it's worth a good long contemplative walk.

Thoroughly enjoyed experiencing how the monks live and eat.

Thoroughly enjoyed experiencing how the monks live and eat. We arrived on a Friday afternoon, wondered into the info centre Saturday & they were very helpful. Walked through the cemetery & then had lunch in one of the cafes open. Not many open on a Saturday or Sunday. Sunday a.m we experience the Ceremony half by the Monks in the main temple. Wouldn’t visit again in the winter as it’s extremely cold.

Okunoin cemetery --meditative walk-- was lovely.

Okunoin cemetery --meditative walk-- was lovely. Would have enjoyed having more time to visit the town. We only stayed one night (which is good, because it was very expensive). However, the train logistics from Okayama meant that we ararived in Koyasan about 2pm and so had very little time to see it. We left after lunch the following day. Two fuller days and one night would have been ideal.

Of course it’s probably better to stay in a temple while in Koyasan, but this place is a perfect alternative for small budget solo travelers like me. The manager is super nice and gives great advice on what to visit around the area (he speaks English very well too so it’s easy to communicate), the place is clean and you can even lock the door of your capsule bed. I have met very nice people there too so I recommend 100%.

Yochi-in was a wonderful way of experiencing a traditional temple stay in Japan. We both enjoyed being welcomed with tea and sweets. The room was cosy with traditional tatami mats. The food was delicious too! We thoroughly enjoyed being able to participate in the morning practice. Our time in Koyasan and the stay at Yochi-in was a memorable experience that will for a long stay in our hearts. We highly recommend it!

The experience is the best thing, definitely. If you want to live the full Japanse experience, you should definitely book a night in Koyasan. It was amazing to expend the night in a room inside the temple, with the classical clothes, food and so on. The morning pray was also a good experience to enjoy.

The room had a garden view which was a treat to wake up to; and the house was only a 5 minute walk to the main street of Koyasan. It was a treat to stay in a more 'traditional' Japanese setting rather than a hotel room, and the hosts were very welcoming & friendly.
