Nothing - remember it is not a hotel ! It is a Temple!

So beautiful and serene. Lovely one-night stay. Cute rooms (Japanese / Monk style); quiet place with a reasonable number of guests. Peaceful setting, well maintain. Enjoyed the hot baths. Vegetarian meals (very enjoyable). The Monk spoke a really good English. The morning religious service was a really good experience This was by far my favourite area of my trip around Japan. The area is so calm and relaxed and the temples beatiful.

Everything. Amazing experience. The room was big and comfy. The heater came in clutch bc it was definitely cold at night. We slept like babies thanks to this. The staff were lovely and helped us figure out how to tour the cemetery at night and even tho we didn’t book the dinner they were able to accommodate our breakfast request. It was lovely partaking in the early morning ceremony. Our experience in Koyasan was def one of our trip’s highlights.

Sleeping in Yochi-in temple has been an amazing experience. Monks were vary kind and polite, and the morning prayer has been the cherry on the top: we strongly suggest it! Thanks again. Mary & Matteo

Highlight of our month-long Japan journey. Very clean, perfectly located and magical experience. I was able to attend prayer services, go hiking the pilgrimage trail and copy sutra during our three night stay. Food was excellent and the monks were very helpful and accomodating.

The onsen was amazing! The food was gorgeous too and getting to participate in the morning ceremony was good. If you’re coming in the winter months, do remember to wrap up warm!

the opening times of the shower room were a little restrictive, but i understand it’s probably for good reason

it was an incredible experience to join in with the morning prayer, it made the trip to koyasan for me.

Everything is magical. The food, the place, the bath, the staff, the morning ritual. One of the best experiences involving accommodations I've ever had.

Cannot recommend highly enough, the monks were incredibly kind and welcoming, room was clean and futon was super comfy, the bath is great as well and I was lucky enough to have it to myself. The morning prayer was really cool to see and you get to join in with a few things, food was great also and I’m usually a picky eater. Honestly cannot give enough praise, well worth the money, thank you Yochiin

The meals were enjoyed for the experience of tasting what monks eat. The fare is rather plain.

Its hard to say I didnt like something, but the only thing I could say is that it was cold. I was provided an extra heater for my room, so in the room was perfectly fine, but the moment you had to leave for the restroom you were going to be cold. So if you travel in the colder months be prepared for those brief cold moments!

This place exceeded my expectations. I did not expect the room to be so nice, large, and have a wonderful table and seat space with a large window and small garden view. The place is just beautiful, and I was very appreciative that I could join in the morning ceremony. Truly a wonderful experience.

It was generally cold.

The monk Kerem made us feel very welcome. He made time to talk with us which made it a special and personal experience.

Atmosphere and food. Participate with monks in morning ceremony and night tour thru Okunoin (additional fee). You got solid number of knowledge about Shingon Buddhism (if you are interested of course ;). Simple great

It's a temple, not a 4* hotel or ryokan, so be prepared and accept that the monks are not an hotel staff ;-) and that the rooms are also quite empty, but I think the more the room is empty, the more space you have for your thoughts ;-)

The place, the style, the monks, the food, the bath... everything was excellent. The absolute silence during night... I woudl live there, if I could :-)

Welcoming and comfortable temple stay, treat your time here with respect as it is a functioning place of worship. The monks are very kind to share their special way of life with us. Rooms and common areas are tidy and comfortable, the heaters definitely help! Food is tasty and beautifully presented. Be sure to join the morning prayer ceremony.

It was a great experience! The staff was so polite and sweet. The rooms were very spacial, it was quite cold but there was a heater so that didn't really bother us. It's close to shops and the bus. Diner and breakfast was traditional, very much appreciated. The morning ceremony was very interesting, must see when you are here! Overall great experience.

Shared toilets, but it was part of the deal, so complaints here.

Great location, beautiful temple, zen garden, big and clean room!
