You hear a bit the neighbours, but that's ok.

The traditional setting, not crowded, only some guests.

Everything. Great rooms, comfortable futons, lovely tatamis. Very good breakfast. The host was very helpful and shared with us a few tips what is worth checking in the area. We followed the advice and were very pleased with all recommendations. I wish we could stay there longer, as the place is really outstanding. You can feel spirituality in the air. The Hachi Hachi guest house is a perfect base to explore the area.

The only back draws are that the showers, toilets and washbasins are located on a different floor to the bedrooms. Secondly, the placement of the washbasins does not allow for much privacy.

Cozy guesthouse and good breakfast available (against payment). Bright and clean room. Helpful guesthouse owner. Good social vibe.

Nothing - very nice overall.

Very cozy and traditional guest house. Right near bus stop going into village, and Nori was very helpful and friendly helping me get situated, even when I booked last minute!

Nothing! (Perhaps heavy footed people will have to make an effort to move about quietly in Japanese slippers, especially climbing up and down the stairs leading to the rooms!)

Staying 3 nights in a typical Japanese house with the ever resourceful Nori and his wife and little girl was a delightful experience! The house is traditional in spirit but modern in conception, recently renovated. Everything functions smoothly, from the silent, gliding wall partitions everywhere to the dimming of the lights at the slightest touch. And everything is spotlessly clean. We guests automatically moved about silently and spoke in low voices...even the 6 month old baby guest among us hardly ever whimpered or made his presence felt! It was so peaceful and quiet.

This guest house has been a perfect alternative to the expensive shukubos. I did the night tour of Okunoin and since I didn't have a curfew, like people staying in shukubos, after the tour I could spent some more time enjoying the atmosphere and return without rushing. Welcoming and helpful owner that gave me some useful tips about what ceremonies I can attend in Koyasan. The room, the shared bathroom and the common area were very clean. The FamilyMart store (Open until 23:00) is 5 minutes walk.

Nothing. Everything was great.

Nori was an excellent host. He spoke the best English I have encountered on my trip so far. He gave me tips on what to see and do and where to eat. He even gave me tips on my next destination, Kyoto, because he lived there for a few years. He helped me figure out the timing of my bus and cable car for departure. The guest house and my room were spotlessly clean. The bathrooms and showers were great. The breakfast I got was fantastic; it's probably the best I've had in Japan. I could control the temperature and lighting in my room. It was quiet and comfortable. There was plenty of space for me to lay out my luggage on the floor. The location was convenient to see the sights that were illuminated at night. There's a nearby bus stop.

We had a great stay in Hachi Hachi Guest House. The place was beautiful and had its own style. Our room was super clean, we had the best sleep there during our trip in Japan. The host is super helpful, he gave us many recommendtions. And dont forget to order breakfast, it was delicious! Thank you for having us, it was unforgertable experience

The place was really convenient for all activities in this area. The host was very professional and welcoming. Everything was super clean and the house was quiet to sleep at night. I highly recommend to take the breakfast it as a blast for 1000 yens only. The most comfortable futon + pillow I've been on of the trip. It was so soft that I fell asleep immediately.

Nari was such an incredible host, everything was clean and he was very knowedgeable about the whole area of Koyasan and gave excellent recommendations. He is so kind and the rooms are so beautiful. Everything is super clean and cleaned multiple times daily. I came in very late on the first night and he was so helpful in trying to help me find out how to get there the best way. The only thing I regret is that I didn't stay there three nights instead of the two. I loved Hachi Hachi and would recommend everyone to go there.

Perfect for my needs a solo, impulsive traveller. Dori, the host, could not have been more accommodating or helpful. Great breakfasts, great advice on what to do in Koyasan.

Highly recommended! Nori is an amazing host, super friendly and always willing to offer help (even if you don't ask for it). The place is super cozy and well equipped. I'd definitely choose hachihachi again without hesitation :)

The owner is kind, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. Everything is spotlessly clean and comfortable. I had the best stay ever!

Loved the location - a walking distance away from the main areas you probably want to explore. Also easy to take a bus to Okuno in, or even walk there (about 40-50min when walking). The room was superb, exactly as described. The host was super helpful and kind, helped me to get local experiences I couldn’t find info easily online about. Highly recommend this place - thanks again!!
