  • “It’s a very good experience to dive a bit into Buddhism religion. The location and rooms are great. Excellent dinner and breakfast.”

  • Koyasan Guesthouse Kokuu Review score: 9.4

    “I love this guesthouse, the atmosphere, the staff and the homemade curry!”

  • Koyasan Shukubo Yochiin Review score: 9.1

    “Warm welcome in an out of the ordinary place. Felt like a privileged dive into the Japanese bouddhiste culture. Bonus points for the organized tour of the Koyasan cemetery with one of the monk of the Temple.”

  • “Truly wonderful experience. The room was spacious and very comfortable, making it easy to rest and recharge. The temple has a peaceful, calming atmosphere that invites quiet reflection. The meals were beautifully presented and surprisingly delicious—simple, balanced, and clearly prepared with care. The morning service was especially memorable: uplifting and gently moving, it added a meaningful layer to the stay. The staff were exceptionally kind and helpful throughout my visit, which made the experience even more special. I’m grateful for their hospitality and would gladly return.”

  • “Very friendly staff, beautiful and historical location and grounds, absolutely fabulous dinner and breakfast, really nice and spacious tatami room with futons. Small but nice onsen bathing facility. Possibility to partake in circa 1 hour ceremony/meditation early morning, which was well very organized and accessible, with seating, communication in English on screens, and a 'varied' program (chant, sutra reading, incense ceremony, meditation).”

    “Beautiful location. Magical atmosphere about the place”

  • “The monk Kayo was the kindest person in the world! We reserved a schiazu massage in the evening and it was so relaxing! The dinner was shared and it was vegetarian - the food I prefer. We attended the morning prayer - it was so magical and profound! I really love this place!”

  • Koyasan Shukubo Jokiin Review score: 8.9

    “We loved the calm and peaceful atmosphere in which we stayed, surrounded by beautiful gardens. Sleeping in the futons was an amazing experience, enhanced by the sounds of the nature coming from outside.”

    “Incredibile stay - cannot recommend enough.”

  • Koyasan Guesthouse Kokuu Review score: 9.4

    “If you are coming to Koyasan you should definitely stay here. The locations, the utilities and service are great. There is nothing to complain about while staying here. It has everything you might need. You can also decide to have breakfast and dinner here for a very reasonable price, what is very convenient (and they offer vegetarian meals). Right after arriving, I was able to leave my luggage even before the official check in time. The owner gave me a very detailed map in English with very useful information and he also helped me to find out the most convenient way to arrive to my next destination. This is a 10/10 accommodation.”
