“It would be impossible, as a tourist, to have a true monastery experience in an overnight stay, but the beautiful monastery and lovely monks gave us an inkling of what being a monk means. Sleeping and eating on the floor is less comfortable but essential for that experience. Beautiful monastery within walking distance of temples and Okunoin cemetery. Well worth staying overnight to appreciate Koyasan more fully.”
“Room was quite the what I expected. It was spacious and a traditional Japanese room. Washrooms were located bit far from the room and they were public baths. Toilets were located separately which were near to my room. Wash basins for face wash were separately located as well. I attended the morning ceremony. Being a Buddhist myself(Theravada sect) it was different from what I have seen and practiced from my childhood. But was all in for a new experience which was what i got there. Mind that all the shops close around or before 05.30 pm so you have to secure your dinner before that.”
“Exceptional view, fantastic breakfast and extremely friendly staff despite our very low level Japanese.
Rooms appear to have been renovated since some of the pictures posted - very modern yet beautiful, spacious, and comfortable.”
“Large tatami room overlooking the river.
Welcome onsen after two days on the Kumamo Kodo.
The staff were excellent and went out of their way to look after my companion who had twisted his ankle.”
“Very close to the train station. There are many good restaurant around the hotel. Hot Spring was quite confortable. You will have one bottle of water free of charge for one person for one night free of charge. Half size of Ramen was also served in the hotel restaurant as late-night snacks free of charge.”
“It’s a beautiful building and a fantastic experience. I’d recommend it to anyone. As a town, Koyasan is simply stunning. We were there in spring so everything was flowering. Autumn would be a good choice also for the scenery.”
“The location and the details in the room, onsen, the friendly staff and the food was very tasty”
“Fantastic breakfast to be served in the room”
“Perfect location and awesome view from the room and dining area. And the room is quiet despite trains running below the building”
“What a lovely stay I had here. I got drunk before dinner and then staggered into the most incredible feast I've ever had. This town lands a large amount of the tuna that comes into Japan, and they had such a variety and skill with it in the restaurant. Incredible sakē, great quality fish, good sized room. A genuine delight.”
