Ekoin Temple is a stunning piece of architecture and the rooms are absolutely wonderful. Despite the winter cold, we were able to keep the room warm with the provided heater. I loved the bathroom, very clean and comfortable and beautiful design. The futons were comfortable, service kind and attentive and the food was delicious. One night was way too short!

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.

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 💯

Amazing Dinner Buddhist vegetarian in a traditional very wonderful setting. Private bath tub in Juinior Suite with view to tres and forest. Morning Prayer and Meditation in temple 7-8 am. Second visit after 7 years - still fascinating and I would return again. It seems to be the most stylish option for temple stay in Koyasan.

It was a great experience to be able to attend the morning prayer ceremony with the monks. Furthermore, the bathing area had an onsen from Koyasan that was modernly furnished (though only open from 4-9pm). The location was great too given its right in the middle of all the main attractions. The service itself was also very good. They even gave us little souvenirs. Highly recommend.

I love everything about the temple: the accommodations, the people, the routine, the foods, the location, the serenity it brings. It was the best trip I had this year, also the best experience - especially that everything here so simple yet leave strong impression on me. I travel with my close friend and we both decide to come back next year. I really miss the place and want to come back once hit the city.

We stayed for 2 nights in February.The location was central to everything and was very convenient! The beautiful garden , temple and forest was like a peaceful oasis and transport you back in time . The rooms were clean and spacious and comfortable. The meals were the highlight of the stay . It has been prepared by a retired chef who had his own restaurant in Osaka for many years . It was the best vegan meal ( shojin ryori ) we’ve ever had . The staff were very friendly , kind and caring I would Highly recommend to stay here !

    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!

    We stayed at the Joki-in temple for 1 night, right in the center, on October 13. The town was very crowded with foreign tourists - funicular, bus, shrines, parks, restaurants. The various sites are interesting to visit, but you are not alone. On the way back from Daimon gate, we left the main road and walked in the part of the town where people live. We were alone and enjoyed the walk. We walked to see the Okunoin cemetery at night: there were very few people and it was really interesting. I suppose most tourists just come for the day because of the bedrooms' high prices the well-located temples.

    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!
