Amazing place to stay. The morning prayer was definitely a highlight. Loved all of it. The temple is beautiful, with amazing gardens. The room was also very nice, spacious and well equipped. Staff was very kind. Dinner was served in a private dining room, the food was very nice (but if you cant eat Japanese food definitely bring something to eat as you cant buy anything at the temple). The onsen was modern and clean, men and women are separated. Thank you very much, would definitely recommend!

Situated in Koyasan in the Wakayama region, 宿坊 光明院 features accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking, as well as access to a hot tub. It is located 39 km from Kishi Station and provides luggage storage space. Jigenin Temple is 49 km away and Itakiso Shrine is 45 km from the ryokan.

Dinner had so many vegan dishes and they were delicious. Breakfast was smaller but still filling. It won't be a western breakfast. The futon ended up being comfy and warm but the halls were cold in the morning. I suggest arriving at the start of check in to take full advantage of everything there is (enjoying the pond, onsen, tea in room while reading the info on ceremonies). Location was great for the big 3 sites, if you don't mind walk 20 minutes in either direction.

Located in the sacred Koyasan area, Saizenin offers simple accommodation surrounded by mountains and many temples. Originally developed as a lodging for the temples’ pilgrims, it conducts Buddhist services every morning that guests can attend. Nankai Koyasan Train Station is a 15-minute drive away.

Really special stay here. We weren’t expecting it to feel so luxurious. The shower facilities being an onsen bath was a wonderful treat for taking the chill out of the fall air, the food was great and the staff and monks were really lovely. We took part in the meditation and highly recommend it; it was beginner friendly and our monk’s comments and insights were very moving. The location is also very peaceful and right in the heart of Koyasan. Can’t recommend it enough!

    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!
