This was an exceptional property in every way. Though the rooms are European style, the singular cabins, the passage ways, the main building, all have a very Japanese architectural feel. This is located about 20km from Koyasan, and sits among rice paddies just a bike ride from a local shrine. It gives you the chance to glide along on deserted roads and happen upon a major pilgramage shrine along the Kumano Kodo. The Kaiseki meal was superb, with about 10 courses of sublime cooking and service of the highest order. The staff may have been a little nervous as we don't speak Japanese, but they fared well. The presentation was, as is the Japanese way, giving a nod to the autumn season with fall flowers and leaves presenting the food as art. The Onsen were private so that couples can enjoy with eachother, three possibilities were available, with small gardens outside each. Our suite also had a huge round tub to enjoy as well. The bathroom was of exceptional design. We had a hedge of blooming flowers outside the porch doors where beautiful and unusual butterflies were feeding.
Located in the sacred Koyasan area, Saizenin offers simple accommodations surrounded by mountains and many temples.

Close to a beautiful temple complex. In a beautiful building. Prayer service in the morning is super special. Staff is amazing and they serve lovely vegetarian meals. We had a great stay.

This stay was one of the highlights of our trip. Absolutely recommend. Great location, and they make accommodations for non Japanese speaking guests without sacrificing the authentic feel. The various activities you can participate in were unique , such as morning prayer, fire ceremony, meditation. Dinner and breakfast is served in the room unless you’re with a larger party. I’d recommend taking on the night cemetery tour, but go in the daytime before if you can as you don’t stop much on the tour.

This was a really lovely Japanese style accommodation. The host was kind and helpful with recommendations. The room was very comfortable and the AC kept us very cool. Everything was clean. This was a great location due to proximity to dai-mon gate, however the town itself is small and easy to get to anywhere. It was a shared showers and bathrooms style place, however I never ran into anyone while there. Highly recommend.

An amazing experience, particularly pleasantly surprised by the 2-course dinner, local and fresh ingredients, very delicious vegetarian meal! Finally, morning service in the main prayer hall was followed up with short history and explanations from the monks.
