高野山 宿坊 熊谷寺 -Koyasan Shukubo Kumagaiji-, hotel in Koyasan

A Buddhist temple lodging accommodations, 高野山 宿坊 熊谷寺 -Koyasan Shukubo Kumagaiji- lies amid mountains in the sacred Koyasan area.

Welcoming, and authentic experience. Plenty of space and restrooms. Each room was air conditioned. I enjoyed the dinner and breakfast meal of vegan food, and the morning Buddhist ceremony was wonderful to witness and be a part of their daily mantra. Kumagaiji is Very close to Okunion Cemetary for a nice walk with rich history.

Guesthouse Fuki Juku, hotel in Koyasan

25 miles from Subaru Hall in Fuki, Guesthouse Fuki Juku offers accommodations with access to a hot tub. This guest house provides free private parking, luggage storage space, and free Wifi.

We appreciated the history of the house and the amazing food! Additionally, the hosts were extremely accommodating, providing a ride to places you wouldn’t get to see through the public transit and even providing a ride to the house when we failed to get there ourselves. We were also provided a tour of some of the highlights of the town and surroundings, as well as fireworks for the night.

    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.

    We love our stay at Guest House Suzumeno Kakurembo! Our hosts were so friendly, funny and welcoming! Our room was spotless clean(!), spacious and super cosy! Heating is available (it can get really cold in Koyasan at night) and we also had a water dispenser (hot/cold) in our room which was soo convenient! They also have a restaurant with amazing food! We recommend this guesthouse! Thank you so much for your hospitality!
