Paola is incredibly kind and attentive. Every detail in her Japanese-style guesthouse has been carefully chosen. She has put so much thought into selecting each piece, and each has its own story. Throughout my stay, I felt a sense of peace and love. ........ Thank you so much, Paola. I’m so happy to have met you and to have stayed at Koyasan Space. I look forward to seeing you again!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Shogo's home, and I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. This 150-year-old historical building, offers a charming blend of tradition and modern comfort for a memorable stay. Shogo, the owner, was incredibly attentive and helpful throughout my stay. He went above and beyond to ensure that I had a comfortable and enjoyable visit. Not only did he provide excellent recommendations for local restaurants, but he also made reservations on my behalf. The location was nice and easy to find if you go by a car, with the added bonus of having an onsen and a supermarket nearby. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a welcoming atmosphere.

Own comfortable private floor upstairs. Included: dining room with a mini fridge, toilet and bedroom with two single beds and an AC. Beds were hardish in a very good way, felt well rested in the morning. Shared bathroom and kitchen downstairs. Everything was perfectly clean and working as they should. Hosts were exceptionally caring. We missed our train station and they came and picked us up from 4km away with their car without us asking. Nice couple, showed us the apartment and gave us clear instructions on everything. Pro tip if you are walking to Koyasan from Jison-In: ask the hosts to order you a taxi beforehand for the morning. Trip from this accommodation to Jison-in was less than 10mins with a taxi and cost us 1600 yen.

We are so happy we chose this temple for our stay in Koyasan. It was quiet and peaceful and the staff was very kind. The morning ceremonies were definitely an important part of the experience. The place felt much less crowded compared to the other temple stays that we passed by in town, which we really appreciated. It has a nice garden and a relaxing indoor onsen, available for guests in the evenings.

The location, the story behind the tempel (see samurai armor) and the magical atmosphere makes this temple and temple stay incredible. The large rooms are authentic, clean and exceptionally well maintained. We had a view upon the Japanese garden from the seating area in our room. A must do for any trip to Japan! Also the evening cemetery tour is incredible. Great stories and legends.

    Great hosts, good location, very clean and comfortable. Lucky to have their restaurant on site for dinner - one of nicest meals we had in Japan - that is, home cooked by Guest House owner, an outstanding chef.

    Comfortable room and great hosts. Incredibly helpful to us even after we checked out and returned to collect our left bags soaking wet after getting caught in the rain. Our host provided towels and heating for us to dry out and warm up. The restaurant was great as well. Highly recommend.
