Koyasan Space, hotel in Koyasan

Set in Koyasan, 37 km from Kishi Station, Koyasan Space offers recently renovated accommodation with free WiFi and a garden.

The breakfast was amazing, we stayed for 3 nights and every morning it was something different, nutritious and delicious! Staying with Paulo was amazing, she really goes above and beyond to make sure you feel welcome and have everything you need. The space itself is traditional Japanese and was beautiful to relax in, highly recommend! Koyasan is a very special place, if I was to ever return I would stay again at koyasan space as it fitted the vibe of the whole village.

Sojiin, hotel in Koyasan

Sojiin, located in the center of Mt. Koya, is a Japanese-style accommodation in a Buddhist temple located to the west of Sohonzan Kongobu-ji and in front of Danjo Garan.

We had an issue with the initial booking when we arrived, but the staff came to an amicable and very satisfactory solution. The food was amazing and our room overlooked the garden of the inn. The location was very close to one of the main temple complexes and a bus stop that takes you to and from the cable car. We attended the morning religious service at 6.30am and a talk afterwards by the hear priest. I would certainly take the time to attend these if I was staying.

Nipponia Hotel Koyasan Pilgrimage Railway Operated by KIRINJI - Self Check-In Only, hotel in Koyasan

Nipponia Hotel Koyasan Pilgrimage Railway Operated by KIRINJI - Self Check-In Only is located in Kudoyama, 32 km from Kishi Station, 39 km from Jigenin Temple, and 40 km from Saifuku-ji Temple.

The room was ready before check-in time so it was great for our one day trip. Very easy for catching the train the next morning as the room was already in one of the station. It is also very convenient for going to Koyasan. The room was super clean and very beautiful and the experience of sleeping in the train station didn’t bother us at all, quite the opposite. I cannot forget to mention the amazing complementary breakfast you get in the closest station and also the free ticket to get there. The person in charge was really helpful during the stay and everything was perfect.

    wonderful atmosphere in this spiritual village. Our room was exceptionally large, comfortable and both modern and traditional. It included a small zen garden and a beautiful hot bath. The top level Buddhist food was both plentiful and delicious. Wifi was good. Rooms were very clean. Keep in mind this is a traditional Japanese hotel and you have to remove shoes everywhere you go. The meditation session was short, but informative. The night tour was also interesting. The morning prayers were also moving.

    This was a beautiful experience. The temple is gorgeous. The rooms were very clean. Everything I needed was there. Joining in the meditation and listening to the morning chanting was restful. It was in a great spot, close to the road but calm and peaceful inside. It was a short walk to Koyasan village and many of the attractions.

    This place was hard to get to from Osaka but so worth it! The village is spectacular and this property offers dinner and breakfast so you can enjoy the surroundings and not worry about food. It is more traditional than other places you'd stay at, you get to experience sleeping on the floor and the food they serve is vegan.

    Excellent authentic and comfy stay in Eko-in Temple at Koyasan village! Food was an amazing experience on our first days in Japan! We also attended to morning ceremonies which were interesting (we also got some pre-information about the Buddhist ways with a Okunoin night tour).

    Authentic temple stay experience. Awesome temple - like a large Japanese villa. Simple rooms which were well worn but comfy beds. You're here for the experience though - food, onsen and morning prayer ceremony all fantastic opportunities to try something new for Westerners. We were a family with teens and all loved it!

    Koyasan is a small beautiful Buddhist village in the mountain. The Shukubo Fudoin offers a fantastic possibility to learn a little of a Buddhist monk life and the religion. The monks are very nice and their dinner are delicious. We also enjoyed their onsen. This shukubo is very beautiful and the monk were doing their outmost to give us an unforgettable time with them. Thank you!
