The train and cable car were thrilling.
The train and cable car were thrilling. The forest surroundings gave the town a cozy feel and kept the air so fresh.. The English Guide Club provided a very knowledgeable guide, Mayumi. I learned much more than what you find in books. The burial site is really amazing - a must see. There are some great coffee shops too. It's worthy of a repeat visit.

This temple is very remote.
This temple is very remote. The area is beautiful and the hiking was great. There is an extra tour option of the cemetery. I thought with the price we were paying that this tour should have been included.AAnonymousUnited States - 8.0Scored 8.0
Pretty town, huge graveyard, worth exploring but just one...
Pretty town, huge graveyard, worth exploring but just one day needed - Either pay for the decent hotels and experience the true temple koyasan experience or book a lodging and explore the area. Our expensive (but cheapest temple room) felt super touristy and set up. Food was awful. - Its pretty long to get there from Osaka also.

I would definitely recommend the experience of staying one...
I would definitely recommend the experience of staying one night at any of the temples and also the Okonuin Night Tour is a real must! Apart from one person and the Guide (Nobu) the staff of Eko-in was somewhat arrogant and be prepared for an uncomfortable and short night, but a delicious and huge dinner and breakfast. The sights and nature are stunning and beautiful, really serene and perfect to contrast the buzz of every big City. We bought the digital Heritage Pass and tool the Limited Express Train to Koya, I would recommend! Apart from the Bus from the Cable Car to our Temple we walked to every sight by foot, since they are not far from each other and the whole town is a complex of a „Sight“. The Tokugawa Mausoleum was especially astonishing, since it’s full of Japanese history. We will absolutely visit Koyasan again, but I would not choose a Templestay again.IvanaAustria - 10Scored 10
Okunoin Cemetery night tour is a must do activity.
Okunoin Cemetery night tour is a must do activity. So much of our understanding of Japanese Buddhism and Koyasan’s role in its history was informed by the monk who was our guide. We checked out Okunoin Temple and the cemetery the next day, too. It is a very special place.

It is imperative to stay in a temple - the vegetarian meals...
It is imperative to stay in a temple - the vegetarian meals at our temple were delicious and had many courses. The town has so many temples and good hiking opportunities, we could have stayed longer - but my husband was too much of a foreigner to stay in the temple for two nights. The wonderful Okunoin Cemetery and shrine with an ancient forest was a special treat - we spent an entire morning there, and it was a nice surprise that the buddhist monks take their stewardship of the natural environment so seriously that there is even a forestry department of the temple. Other temples were equally awe-inspiring.SarahUnited States

- 9.6Scored 9.6ExceptionalRated exceptional· 78 reviewsIf you’re like me and dream of visiting Koyasan but have to travel on a budget, this is the place for you! The owner is so kind and generous with his advice about enjoying your time exploring this incredible, historic temple town and he even makes great food, too! I highly recommend staying there. It’s also awesome how close it is to the Okunoin Cemetery, which was my favorite part of Koyasan, and also makes attending the morning prayer service much easier because of its close proximity!
Charles WUnited States - 7.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 71 reviewsI really liked the food, especially the dinner - it was amazing! The futons were fluffy and the public bath was nice. I really enjoyed watching some TV after eating dinner and warming up in a hot bath. The monks were polite and answered all of our questions- I did not experience any rudeness that the other reviews are talking about. They even told us a lot about the current state of the temple after the morning ceremony was over.
DariaJapan - From ₪ 1,243.76 per night9.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 525 reviewsIt's a beautiful temple in the stunning mountains of Koyasan. The temple has a well manicured garden and a vast space to explore. It is reasonably close to the entrance to the graveyard walk. The food was a lovely vegetarian and tofu meal and they did give an option for sake or beer. The staff was welcoming and spoke very good english. They gave a great overview of the morning ceremony and included a participatory element.WhitneyUnited States

Very welcoming staff and we especially enjoyed the wonderful food (like nothing we’ve ever tasted, loved that it was vegan but so flavourful and varied) and morning prayer. We had a wonderful stay, but don’t expect all the bells and whistles - this is a temple stay not a hotel! Good location, easy walk to everywhere.MaikeAustralia
