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.

Just incredible experience!! The monks were so warming and welcoming, they really made us feel at home. The whole experience was enlightening and to learn more about their faith and take part in the morning prayers was truly a unique experience!

Ryochi was an awesome host and helped me out with an issue I had with my baggage getting stuck. Not speaking japanese, it's hard to contact companies but Ryochi took the time to call the companies for me and fix my problem!

Wonderful experience. Go here to expect calm and respect, you will be the guest of a Buddhist temple. Food is served in your room and truly excellent. Rooms are traditional Japanese style, and all you need is there. For us it's less comfortable as we not used to this and around 60 - but that is absolutely NO critique, just a remark to explain what to expect. Strongly recommend to attend the morning prayers - but please, please, please be respectful and silent, come on time, and respect the (few!) rules: this is not a tourist attraction, you are the guest to an intimate "meeting" as it were. Guests from all over the world are welcome, more than welcome, but guests also need to learn to be respectful and behave. And this does not just go for a temple, but for any place where you are welcomed as a guest. (Yes, some folks misbehaved, alas.) We stayed 2 nights as to have a little more time leave behind the busy lives of modern culture. That worked well for us. Your choice of course. If you come with kids, and explain enough to them, it's well worth it for them too - but maybe stay only one night then.

What guests said about Koyasan:

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.

Lovely workers notified us that most restaurants close by 5PM in Koyasan and we could make a booking for dinner here. The room is tidy and clean, warm blankets are provided and everything you need for your stay. Good location close to famous sights but about a 30min walk from Okunoin, easy to get to with local bus though. Showers are clean and warm. There is a communal area where we hoped to make our own breakfast but only cups are provided no bowls or spoons. Otherwise I recommend this place if all the temples are booked up!

The entire stay and experience was amazing. The staff were very professional and attentive, again this is not suppose to be a typical hotel or Ryokan but honestly their sympathy puts many other such places to shame. The offuru bath was really warm and relaxing. The garden was pretty and the morning ceremony was an unforgettable cultural experience.
