Koyasan Guesthouse Kokuu, hotel in Koyasan

Great location in Koyasan - close to bus stops, Okunoin and beautiful area. The owner is from Koyasan so very knowledgeable about the area. Get the breakfast - it is freshly prepared for you in the morning. If you wanted to try a capsule inn - this is the place to do it. Clean, safe, comfortable, interesting people. A very unique experience and looking forward to staying there again!

Koyasan Space, hotel in Koyasan

Koyasan Space offers accommodations in Koyasan, 23 miles from Kishi Station and 27 miles from Matsushita Park.

The host Paola was amazingly gracious and very attentive. The space is very clean and comfortable. You get access to a really nice living space, and the outdoor garden where she grows food is lovely to sit in. The bathroom includes an ofuro which was very relaxing at the end of a busy day. I felt like a very-well-cared-for houseguest in someone's very cozy home. The location is a bit farther out from most of the sites, that said, it's no more than a 10 minutes walk or so from the center and frequent bus stop locations; it was no problem. Also it is next to the start of a nice trail at Diamon gate (be sure to get yourself a map at the visitor's information center).

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.

Beautiful property with very large and nicely renovated rooms. Located right in the middle of the historic district, and the view of the mountains from the room is a phenomenal touch. Shogo was very friendly and helpful, and was quick to provide recommendations for places to visit nearby. Easily one of my favorite stays in Japan!!

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.

    Comfortable room and great hosts. Incredibly helpful to us even after we checked out and returned to collect our left bags soaking wet after getting caught in the rain. Our host provided towels and heating for us to dry out and warm up. The restaurant was great as well. Highly recommend.
