We are over the moon to see the Buddha relic at this temple! The staff is very kind and tried to introduce Buddhism in English! After the morning chanting, we had a temple tour and saw the Buddha relic 💯

I emergency booked this place at the last minute as my hiking plans were interrupted by a bear. Within 10 mins of booking I arrived and was immediately greeted with open arms by Paola. Paola is an incredible host and an amazing person who went above and beyond to provide unbelievable food, inside information on the unmissable parts of Koyasan (including fire ceremonies), an intracate and beautifully designed home, and a cappuchino that far surpassed the expectations of even a Melbournian. Staying at Koyasan Space, though not originally part of my travel plans, was the highlight of my trip and will be something I remember forever. I was very lucky to have encountered that bear in the forest, as it lead me to this amazing experience. Thank you very much Paola.

    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.

    Staying at the temple was a delightful experience.

    Staying at the temple was a delightful experience. The food was different but very good, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Attending the morning prayer was another highlight, providing a truly memorable experience. The location was excellent, being very close to the bus stop. The staff were extremely nice and accommodating, allowing us to drop off our luggage before the check-in time. Although everything was great, I personally didn't like the heater in the room. I think it uses some kind of oil, and for me personally, the oil smell was a little too strong. Next time, I would prefer a room with an attached washroom. Since it's an old temple, it doesn't have central heating, which is understandable, but it gets a little cold outside of the room when going to use the washrooms. The rooms aren't that comfortable, but we already knew that since we went for the experience, not for comfort. Just wanted to add that!

    Nature and spirituality

    Nature and spirituality We ended our 3 week trip to Japan with 2 nights in Koyasan at a buddhist temple. It was a magical place, completely different from everything we had visited in Japan beforehand. The temples with their architecture, the local food and the kind locals really made this an unforgettable experience. On our last day we went for a hike on the Women´s trail, had a great lunch close to the Daimon gate and took a 2h walk through the Okunoin cementary which is one of the most incredible places I have been so far. Go without any expectations and it will be the a unique experience!

    It was an amazing experience doing shukubo in this amazing temple. The room was great, it had heating (it was so cold outside), yukatas, toothbrush. And it was so beautiful, it really felt like staying at old Japan. We had courtesy tea and sweets, the room had a mini garden you could look at, and it was super spacious and had everything to make you travel in time. And we didn't feel it was expensive. The restrooms were great and the breakfast was nice. An unforgetable experience truly, and Koyasan's a super beautiful place.

    Nice property with some good coffee. Rooms are clean and ours was family room so more space with private bathroom. Brace up yourself if you visit in the end of Dec as it’s cold (the owner sent us notification) and the staff try to do their best to keep you warm. Did do the night excursion to the cemetery and it was awesome - the Buddhist monk was the guide and he did it great. Strongly recommend to stay at this place if you want to visit Koyasan but didn’t find vacant places/wish to stay at temples

    During my stay in Japan, it was one of my favourite places to spend the night. We were given a warm welcome immediately and the rooms were very spacious and absolutely beautiful. If you want to experience real Japanese style rooms, this is the place to be. Morning prayer was done in one of the most beautiful Buddhist temple rooms I’ve seen during my trip. Definitely recommend!

    The room had a garden view which was a treat to wake up to; and the house was only a 5 minute walk to the main street of Koyasan. It was a treat to stay in a more 'traditional' Japanese setting rather than a hotel room, and the hosts were very welcoming & friendly.
