Everything way well organized and a temple stay at Koyasan as its best. I loved the food, the morning ceremony, the beautiful garden and view from my room. Thank you very much

We loved the attention to detail, especially the vintage record player with Japanese vinyls and how well stocked the kitchen was (oil, spices, rice, coffee etc. - the best we had in Japan!). Staff was very accommodating. Very spacious, perfect for our group. We had to change the group size due to a mistake of our own and it was very easy to resolve, thank you for that. We had a great time!

The owners are some of the nicest persons I've met in Japan. They helped us a lot and made the stay perfect and turned it in a good memory of pur trip. The room was clean and spacious. Everything was perfect. The place is near to a beautiful park and 10 minutes walk from a JR station. There's also a nice onsen just 2 stations away.

- Beautifully decorated room - Very comfortable bedding - Really friendly and helpful staff - Great facilities and amenities. There is a kitchen for guests, and the lobby also doubles as a cafe. That's a huge benefit if you like coffee! - I loved going for walks around the area. There is a beautiful temple just next door. - Great location for visits around Koyasan.

Super! 100% recommended! Very kind host. Also great welcome with lots of information about what to do in Koyasan. It was also very clean. The 2 showers and 2 toilets were more then enough. The pocket rooms slept very good. It is located next to the cemetery, so good for doing the evening walk. We had a great stay. Thank you!

    Great hosts, good location, very clean and comfortable. Lucky to have their restaurant on site for dinner - one of nicest meals we had in Japan - that is, home cooked by Guest House owner, an outstanding chef.

    Comfortable room and great hosts. Incredibly helpful to us even after we checked out and returned to collect our left bags soaking wet after getting caught in the rain. Our host provided towels and heating for us to dry out and warm up. The restaurant was great as well. Highly recommend.
