I wish I could have stayed longer in the temple! A very authentic experience with the room only being heated by a heat pump. Great location in the middle of all of the attractions. The food experience was also amazing: sitting on a mat in nicely decorated chamber with bamboo walls separating from other members staying in the temple. I also had the chance of bathing in the onsen which was amazing to have it onsite!

Friendly and welcoming atmosphere, owner has been very helpful arranging restaurant reservations and providing tips. Location is just a few meters from okunoin cemetery, perfect for a nightime or a early morning visit. Sleeping pods were comfortable and private, morning breakfast simple but good. Recommended.

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!

The temple is relatively small, but very cosy. They have a beautiful rock garden and a pond with koi fish. The monks and the staff are very friendly. You can attend a 40 min meditation at 5pm and a service at 6am. The temple is located somewhat outside of the city centre (10 min walk) which means that there are no day tourists (only those who stay overnight - still many). I stayed for 3 nights, during the day the temple was very peaceful. I was staying in an expensive room with a private bath+shower and a great view onto a small rock garden, which was very peaceful. Most rooms don’t have own facilities, though, and you’ll have to observe bathing hours (6-9pm) to use the communal baths (separate for men and women). The food was excellent.

This is a world heritage site not to be missed.

This is a world heritage site not to be missed. The kindness and quiet beauty and the FOOD were heavenly. A friend suggested we go and stay a night in a temple for the full experience, (although a day trip is fine,) and we are so glad that we did. The Buddhist Okunoin cemetery is the largest in Japan and is lit by lanterns at night for a beautiful otherworldly (but actually this world! ;) unforgettable evening walk. Beautiful temples and sacred sites to visit, and many shops and little cafes to enjoy. We stayed in the Sanboin temple and were so delighted by our experience.

Don't miss touring the cemetery.

Don't miss touring the cemetery. It is amazing with so many different types of monuments and statuary. We toured it without a guide during the day light hours and feel that we really didn't miss anything by not seeing it by moonlight. The town has an ancient feel to it and is worth spending at least one night. I just wish that there were more choices for hotels as the only choices seem to be a Guest House and a multitude of Monasteries.

Koyasan is a historic, spiritual, naturally beautiful location. The ability to be around active temples and attend fire ceremony was unforgettable. The information center and excellent bus system made it easy to navigate. However, if you like to walk, most sights are easily walked to, as it is quite flat. There were several nice coffee houses and the place that offers night tours of Okunoin also is a bar in the evening, serving excellent local craft beers. A surprise.

I came here for the history and the experience of staying in a monastery/pilgrim lodging, but I left with much more than that, as all the people I met here were wonderful, from fellow travelers to local cafe owners. One word of advice would be to take your time exploring Oku no In cemetery, as it's worth a good long contemplative walk.

Thoroughly enjoyed experiencing how the monks live and eat.

Thoroughly enjoyed experiencing how the monks live and eat. We arrived on a Friday afternoon, wondered into the info centre Saturday & they were very helpful. Walked through the cemetery & then had lunch in one of the cafes open. Not many open on a Saturday or Sunday. Sunday a.m we experience the Ceremony half by the Monks in the main temple. Wouldn’t visit again in the winter as it’s extremely cold.

Okunoin cemetery --meditative walk-- was lovely.

Okunoin cemetery --meditative walk-- was lovely. Would have enjoyed having more time to visit the town. We only stayed one night (which is good, because it was very expensive). However, the train logistics from Okayama meant that we ararived in Koyasan about 2pm and so had very little time to see it. We left after lunch the following day. Two fuller days and one night would have been ideal.

The monks were friendly and explained everything clearly. We were able to experience a meditation session, morning prayer ceremony and a fire ceremony all at Ekoin Temple. They gave me a link for the walking night tour with Awesome Tours that was great too. Thanks so much and I will recommend your Temple to all who wish to visit Koyasan.

Great experience in a shukubo in Koyasan, held by monks. We stayed in the last available room, which was a fabulous Junior suite (japanese room). Expensive, but very well equipped. The ryokan meal was excellent. A culturel stay with the possibility to participate in meditation and morning chants.
