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!

Very cute decor and interior design with a nice functional kitchen space which was free to use. The common space was also very nice and we could use it at any hour of the day. Location was also very close to the beach and the host was very kind.

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.

The staff were very friendly and extra helpful. They properly explained the features and facilities of the hotel, as well as the rules and regulations. They were also very prompt. Dinner was served exactly at 6:30PM. Talking about the dinner, it was exceedingly delicious and sumptuous. There were a total of 13 Japanese dishes, and the staff took time to explain how to eat them and in what order. The hotel also had both private and public onsens (shared with other guests). My friends and I had the best experience, given that we had just completed our Kumano Kodo. Breakfast was equally delicious. Lastly, we are deeply grateful to the staff member who drove us to the nearest bus station to ensure that we did not miss our forward schedule. Everyone, book your stay at the Yunominesou. It’s super worth it.

Dinner and breakfast were lovely and we really enjoyed the morning prayers in the temple. This was a really special experience. staff were friendly and kind. We enjoyed the night tour in the Okunoin which was an additional cost (Y2000 pp) There were also other experience to do which required a donation, as explained in the booklet in the room.

The dinner and breakfast were wonderful, and very carefully prepared. The room was a beautiful traditional-style one, with tatami and futon. The staff were all extremely helpful and kind, and we were even able to purchase some charms. The public bath was very clean and well-kept, and it was interesting to experience it. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Amazing place to stay. The views from the balcony are breathtaking, even more so with a cold draught beer after a hike. The staff were all so welcoming and friendly. There were so many spaces to sit and relax and things to look at. The owner was such a warm, funny guy that entertained everyone. The dinner was one of the best meals I've had in Japan and the breakfast was also great. Room was very comfortable with a stunning a view. I would highly recommend. Best place we've stayed at so far.

Stayed in the Luxury Suite with garden view as part of a joint honeymoon/birthday treat and wow, what an experience! The suite was absolutely stunning, the food was beautifully presented and getting to experience the meditation and fire ritual made this a unique stay, and one we will both treasure for years to come.

Beautiful grounds. The staff were welcoming friendly and helpful. We were upgraded to the most incredible room with views to a rock garden and beautiful temple across the road. The meals were delicious and beautifully presented . Dinner was in our room and breakfast in a common area served after the morning prayers. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 nights in Koyasan.

the sento (public bath) was absolutely lush. breakfast was Japanese style which takes a bit of getting used to but the quality was the best we encountered on our trip. Staff were lovely and helpful and the whole place just has a nice chill slightly scandi vibe. Bear in mind the town isn't much but it's a great base for exploring the nakasendo trail
