Just a wonderful place to stay in Koyasan, warm and cosy with no fuss, it was a pleasure to go back there at the end of cold winter days. The owner is great, speaks english and will make sure you have all needed information to make the best out of your time in Koyasan. Make sure not to miss out on the curry and the breakfast. I'll certainly stay again there next time.

Staying in a monastery in Koya is a rare experience, but for those who'd like to have that with minimal costs, there are two options: either room-or-bathroom sharing lodgings, or Sekishoin! You get to enjoy the privacy of your own room, for a reasonable price compared to everything else around. And, to top it off, the people here were lovely. There were complementary woven bracelets upon checking in. I was late to my breakfast, and I was pleasantly surprised to find it waiting for me (and needless to say, the food is delicious). There are also explanatory notes pertaining to various things in Japanese culture or monastery life, such as clothing or meals. Final note, the futon was super comfy and perfectly warm despite the cold snowy winter.

This was truly an exceptional and authentic experience. The hosts were incredibly welcoming, warm, and talkative, making us feel right at home. They went the extra mile to ensure everything went smoothly during our stay — all without ever making us feel pressured. It was a one-of-a-kind experience and absolutely one of the highlights of our trip to Japan!

We loved the attention to detail, especially the vintage record player with Japanese vinyls and how well stocked the kitchen was (oil, spices, rice, coffee etc. - the best we had in Japan!). Staff was very accommodating. Very spacious, perfect for our group. We had to change the group size due to a mistake of our own and it was very easy to resolve, thank you for that. We had a great time!

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the truly outstanding experience I had during my recent stay at your hotel. Every aspect of my visit surpassed expectations, making it a memorable and delightful stay. First and foremost, the food at your establishment was nothing short of exceptional.The accommodations were equally impressive. My room was not only impeccably clean and well-maintained but also tastefully decorated, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The attention to detail did not go unnoticed, and it truly contributed to the overall sense of luxury and relaxation. Of course, what truly sets your hotel apart is the unparalleled hospitality extended by your staff. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism.

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!!

Great hosts, good location, very clean and comfortable. Lucky to have their restaurant on site for dinner - one of nicest meals we had in Japan - that is, home cooked by Guest House owner, an outstanding chef.

Very friendly and accommodating hosts! The guest house was at a great location (very close to the bus stop and a convenience store) and the family room was very spacious and clean. Would definitely stay here again and I highly recommend it if you are not planning to do a temple stay at Koyasan! I also highly recommend visiting the cafe - great croissants and drinks!

Great location right in the heart of koyasan town. Very convenient to walk to any attractions nearby. Room facilities are up to bar with some 2-3 star hotel I have been to. Tommy is a super friendly host. He recommends a lot of great local experiences from places to have dinner to different trekking trails and temple rituals you can attend for free. Tommy and his wife run a cafe next door and it’s open from 8am which is a rare thing in koyasan (most shops open at 11am). You get a big discount if you stay at Tommy guest house too ❤️

Tommy Guest House is one of the few guesthouses in Koyasan and certainly the best. Our room was very well equipped as described and quite big. Everything was extremely clean, there were clean towels, new water and tea on the second day. The guesthouse is just a few steps away from the bus stop in the center of Koyasan. Tommy is such a warm and courteous host. The contact before our stay was always quick and super nice. A clear recommendation!

A wonderful Guesthouse in a quieter part of Koyasan but within easy walking distance to all the major attractions. Extremely clean and tidy with large shared living spaces. Conveniently located close to the only Family Mart in town, a bus stop and a little park. Nori, the host, is most helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. I highly recommend Hachi Hachi.
