We loved our temple stay. We had a lovely room - definitely worth it!! Our delicious dinner was delivered to the room and the morning prayers were a wonderful experience. The grounds were lovely and the location was great.

Amazing place to stay, extremely recommended. A really great experience in general - I stayed in one of the suites and could not have asked for a more relaxing and peaceful place to stay, only a short walk from Okunoin Cemetary and an easy walk to the rest of town. Very close to the bus stop from Koyasan Station. Staff were always helpful and the meals were unbelievably delicious and satisfying, even though I needed to ask for a soy-free modification. The best food I ate during my stay!

This hotel was impressive with a grand entrance, ornate furniture in the foyer and a really old wisteria growing in the front yard that had a trunk as big as a sizeable tree. We were welcomed with tea and given an explanation of the hotel and when our meals would be served. Our room was spacious with an outlook over a lovely landscaped terrace to the main garden beyond. The kaiseki dinner and breakfast here were vegan and given the restrictions in ingredients they can work with, both meals were impressive and, as usual with Japanese food, artistically presented by efficient staff. The hotel has a temple attached and we would recommend attending the early morning prayer ceremony. The chanting by the head priest and 2 other monks was quite moving. Koya-san is a beautiful town and well worth visiting.

Located in the sacred Mount Koya area, 高野山 宿坊 桜池院 -Koyasan Shukubo Yochiin- is a historic temple and an accommodations for visitors.

Food was great, they put the expectations low before you arrive and I understand why, but I LOVE it! Public bath/Onsen was a nice surprise and great! The place is a dream, specially with fall leaves. Easily the biggest bedrooms I've seen in Japan.

Featuring a large Japanese garden and natural hot-spring baths, Nanten-En Ryokan offers traditional luxury in a beautiful natural setting.

Amazing traditional ryokan with a beautiful garden and super caring staff. Very goos kaiseki dinner and traditional breakfats were very tasty and plentiful. It has hot mineral water source onsen (traditional male/female room separation) and it is open practically 24 hours! So you can go there really at any time you like, even at night, and relax. It almost never happened to us that there were more than 3 people at once and you get to enjoy the beautiful garden view from the onsen all by yourself. The garden is very well cared for and has a careful selection of flowers/trees that make the place photohenic from absolutely every angle. We visited at spring and it was full of roses and cherry blossoms. The rooms overlook the garden it's just really breathtaking.

Located in Mount Koya, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Zoufukuin offers a traditional Japanese-style accommodations housed within a Buddhist temple.

Great experience, beautiful surroundings and the morning ceremony was unique. The onsen was also amazing. The futons and pillows were nice as well.
