Located in the sacred Mount Koya area, 高野山 宿坊 桜池院 -Koyasan Shukubo Yochiin- is a historic temple and an accommodation for visitors. Just to the left of entering sanmon gate, there is a stone garden created by the famous Mirei Shigemori and designated a natural monument by the Japanese government. The evening meditation, sutra writing, and morning prayer service, were amazing. Talking with the monks was very interesting; about the temple, Buddhism, and their personal experiences. The dinner and breakfast were also great.

The traditional rooms at Yunominesou Ryokan have sliding paper screens, floor cushions and Japanese futon bedding on a tatami (woven-straw) floor. Guests can relax in the Yukata robe or watch the LCD TV. All rooms include a toilet, an electric kettle and a fridge. Spectacular service, very clean, excellent Japanese meals with full explanations for foreign guests, very quiet traditional rooms with modern public areas, traditional Onsen (our room had its own toilet but bathing is public in separate male and female baths (this might seem like a big deal to some but we embraced it as rare opportunity to experience a traditional Japanese Ryokan. Stayed here 2 nights to complete the Hongu loop of the Kumano Kodo in one day (traveling to and from the property is possible using reliable and inexpensive public transportation; it will take a day to get there from Tokyo and another day to return). The staff speak excellent English and I can’t say enough about their professionalism and care for their guest’s comfort.

Located in the sacred Koyasan area, Saizenin offers simple accommodation surrounded by mountains and many temples. Originally developed as a lodging for the temples’ pilgrims, it conducts Buddhist services every morning that guests can attend. Nankai Koyasan Train Station is a 15-minute drive away. The ryokan is amazing. You immediately feel at peace and relaxed walking through the corridors on the way to your room. We found our room to be very generously spaced, with comfy beds, a great shower and bathroom. Saizenin is located right across the temple complex of Koya-san, which contains the picturesque pagoda among other beautiful buildings. Other attractions and museums are very close by, at walking distance, except for perhaps the cementery which is on the other side of the village, but if you walk 10 minutes down the street, there is a bus that leaves you right there, so it wasn't an issue for us. The building itself is in a traditional Japanese style, and of course being in Koya-san means that it is surrounded by forest, with hills to one side, and the street and temple to the other. Its courtyard is also beautiful, the entire thing feels like a museum even though it is actually the place where you are staying at :) Bottom line, staying at Saizenin is an amazing experience. The (vegan) food is unlike anything I've had before, delicious and unique. Every day, there is a meal at around 17:00, and breakfast is at 7:30 I believe, after the morning prayer. Speaking of which, going to the morning prayer in the temple is a must. The monks chant for about half an hour, and along with the beautiful interior of the space, it is a great meditation experience.
