Cool experience to stay in these lodgings. There is a heater in the room but the halls and bathrooms are pretty cold when it’s not warm out. The bath is amazing, so hot and relaxing. The morning prayers were very cool to experience. You do sleep on traditional futons and pillows, so if you’re picky about your pillow you might want to bring your own. The garden in the middle of the temple is beautiful as is the front garden. The check-in window is pretty small so I’d recommend working this into your trip when you’re coming from somewhere close. We came from Lake Ashi and it was very stressful trying to travel from that far away and make the check-in time. Overall I would definitely recommend staying here!

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.

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…

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.

Eine preisgünstige Tempel Übernachtung mitten in koyasan. Alle wichtigen Sehenswürdigkeitrn sind fussnah oder mit dem Bus zu erreichen. Die Haltestelle ist direkt vor der Tür. Die Zimmer sind typisch japanisch. Wobei das einfach nicht meins ist. Ein futon auf dem Boden ist für mich zum Schlafen einfach zu hart. Das Kissen war auch sehr unbequem. Aber das ist persönliches empfinden. Die gemeinschaftsbäder waren sauber. Insgesamt war es im ganzen Tempel sehr kalt. Im Zimmer gab es eine Klima, die ich die ganze Nacht durchlaufen lassen musste, weil es doch sehr kalt war (trotz Mai).

It’s worth noting that this is not a normal hotel but a traditional pilgrim’s lodging, so it is expected that you sleep on a mat on the floor and the facilities are relatively basic. You are staying here for the experience. The property was clean with onsen (hot bath) provided and our room had its own toilet/sink. Our only complaint is that they no longer serve food and we were not notified of this despite this being part of our booking, however we found a restaurant for dinner walking distance away and had a delicious meal.

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。

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...

雨の日も気持ちの良い宿坊。

当然のことだが古い寺院。だが、部屋や洗面所やトイレは増築、改装されていて清潔に保たれていて快適だった。とりわけ風呂は新しく改装されていて浴槽も大きく、気持ちが良かった。2泊し、どの日も雨が降ったが、雨降る日本庭園を鑑賞していると時間が経つのを忘れた。宿泊手続きも、英語が堪能なスタッフにより要領よく行われた。

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.
