Incredible dinner and breakfast. The temple is beautiful, the room is comfortable, and the bath is very relaxing. The monks go out of their way to make you feel welcome and provide you with an opportunity to take part and be able to see their faith.

Staff was great, facilities great, the traditional rooms were really nice and the heater was a game changer. The onsen was also a great experience. I have tatoos on my arm and no one complained when I used the onsen (not sure what the rules are) I was worried that I wouldn't be allowed to use the onsen. Everything about this place is peaceful and relaxing

The stay in place was simply outstanding! Absolutely a must have if you are around Koyasan. Temple stay gives you a different perspective of Japan. So peaceful and harmonic stay. Surroundings are amazing to explore. Room was perfect and dinner and breakfast both were so fantastic experience! Essence of Japan!

I have stayed in many shukubo in Koyasan but Souji-in is far the best shojin ryori in Koyasan. I love that the shukubo is enclosed, and not open to air and that has its own private toilet, so specially when it's cold (most of the year) you don't have to go out of the room

This is a world heritage site not to be missed.

This is a world heritage site not to be missed. The kindness and quiet beauty and the FOOD were heavenly. A friend suggested we go and stay a night in a temple for the full experience, (although a day trip is fine,) and we are so glad that we did. The Buddhist Okunoin cemetery is the largest in Japan and is lit by lanterns at night for a beautiful otherworldly (but actually this world! ;) unforgettable evening walk. Beautiful temples and sacred sites to visit, and many shops and little cafes to enjoy. We stayed in the Sanboin temple and were so delighted by our experience.

Don't miss touring the cemetery.

Don't miss touring the cemetery. It is amazing with so many different types of monuments and statuary. We toured it without a guide during the day light hours and feel that we really didn't miss anything by not seeing it by moonlight. The town has an ancient feel to it and is worth spending at least one night. I just wish that there were more choices for hotels as the only choices seem to be a Guest House and a multitude of Monasteries.

Koyasan is a historic, spiritual, naturally beautiful location. The ability to be around active temples and attend fire ceremony was unforgettable. The information center and excellent bus system made it easy to navigate. However, if you like to walk, most sights are easily walked to, as it is quite flat. There were several nice coffee houses and the place that offers night tours of Okunoin also is a bar in the evening, serving excellent local craft beers. A surprise.

I came here for the history and the experience of staying in a monastery/pilgrim lodging, but I left with much more than that, as all the people I met here were wonderful, from fellow travelers to local cafe owners. One word of advice would be to take your time exploring Oku no In cemetery, as it's worth a good long contemplative walk.

Thoroughly enjoyed experiencing how the monks live and eat.

Thoroughly enjoyed experiencing how the monks live and eat. We arrived on a Friday afternoon, wondered into the info centre Saturday & they were very helpful. Walked through the cemetery & then had lunch in one of the cafes open. Not many open on a Saturday or Sunday. Sunday a.m we experience the Ceremony half by the Monks in the main temple. Wouldn’t visit again in the winter as it’s extremely cold.

Okunoin cemetery --meditative walk-- was lovely.

Okunoin cemetery --meditative walk-- was lovely. Would have enjoyed having more time to visit the town. We only stayed one night (which is good, because it was very expensive). However, the train logistics from Okayama meant that we ararived in Koyasan about 2pm and so had very little time to see it. We left after lunch the following day. Two fuller days and one night would have been ideal.

Yochi-in was a wonderful way of experiencing a traditional temple stay in Japan. We both enjoyed being welcomed with tea and sweets. The room was cosy with traditional tatami mats. The food was delicious too! We thoroughly enjoyed being able to participate in the morning practice. Our time in Koyasan and the stay at Yochi-in was a memorable experience that will for a long stay in our hearts. We highly recommend it!

This is not a normal hotel it's a Buddhist temple run by monks. But it is incredibly efficient. The rooms are traditional and simple, tatami mats and no chairs. The monks serve a vegetarian feast in the room - eat sitting on the floor in your yakuta (provided) and then lay out your futons. There's an onsen bath downstairs too. Next day wake at 6.30 and go to ceremonies in the temple. An experience.

The place was amazing. Very beautiful, with a zen garden outside. Very obliging people at the reception and everything as described. The hole of Koyasan was a unique and unforgettable experience which was enhanced by our stay. Extra special like to the showers which were traditional ryokan style. What my body needed after so many days of exploring cities in Japan!!!

The temple/hotel is lovely, we had a smaller Japanese room which was of good size and an own bathroom which is always nice. The food in this hotel was splendid, it's one of the reasons we picked this rather pricey place because all the reviews raved about the food and they had a point. We loved everything we ate here and we are carnivores!
