I had an amazing stay at Shojoshin-in. The room was comfortable, the food was tasty, and the staff were friendly. I joined the temple tour, fire ceremony, and morning prayer. The temple is also right next to Okunoin cemetery.

What Guests Said About Koyasan:

The train and cable car were thrilling.
The train and cable car were thrilling. The forest surroundings gave the town a cozy feel and kept the air so fresh.. The English Guide Club provided a very knowledgeable guide, Mayumi. I learned much more than what you find in books. The burial site is really amazing - a must see. There are some great coffee shops too. It's worthy of a repeat visit.

This temple is very remote.
This temple is very remote. The area is beautiful and the hiking was great. There is an extra tour option of the cemetery. I thought with the price we were paying that this tour should have been included.AAnonymousUnited States of America - 8.0Scored 8.0
Pretty town, huge graveyard, worth exploring but just one...
Pretty town, huge graveyard, worth exploring but just one day needed - Either pay for the decent hotels and experience the true temple koyasan experience or book a lodging and explore the area. Our expensive (but cheapest temple room) felt super touristy and set up. Food was awful. - Its pretty long to get there from Osaka also.

I would definitely recommend the experience of staying one...
I would definitely recommend the experience of staying one night at any of the temples and also the Okonuin Night Tour is a real must! Apart from one person and the Guide (Nobu) the staff of Eko-in was somewhat arrogant and be prepared for an uncomfortable and short night, but a delicious and huge dinner and breakfast. The sights and nature are stunning and beautiful, really serene and perfect to contrast the buzz of every big City. We bought the digital Heritage Pass and tool the Limited Express Train to Koya, I would recommend! Apart from the Bus from the Cable Car to our Temple we walked to every sight by foot, since they are not far from each other and the whole town is a complex of a „Sight“. The Tokugawa Mausoleum was especially astonishing, since it’s full of Japanese history. We will absolutely visit Koyasan again, but I would not choose a Templestay again.IvanaAustria - 10Scored 10
Okunoin Cemetery night tour is a must do activity.
Okunoin Cemetery night tour is a must do activity. So much of our understanding of Japanese Buddhism and Koyasan’s role in its history was informed by the monk who was our guide. We checked out Okunoin Temple and the cemetery the next day, too. It is a very special place.

It is imperative to stay in a temple - the vegetarian meals...
It is imperative to stay in a temple - the vegetarian meals at our temple were delicious and had many courses. The town has so many temples and good hiking opportunities, we could have stayed longer - but my husband was too much of a foreigner to stay in the temple for two nights. The wonderful Okunoin Cemetery and shrine with an ancient forest was a special treat - we spent an entire morning there, and it was a nice surprise that the buddhist monks take their stewardship of the natural environment so seriously that there is even a forestry department of the temple. Other temples were equally awe-inspiring.SarahUnited States of America

Enjoyed morning and evening meditation. Treated myself to ‘temple shiatsu massage,’ 2 times while there due to a back injury. Takamasa Tsuchiya is a highly skilled practitioner and teacher of shiatsu massage. Between the meditation and massage, I slept so well! Arigatou gozaimashite. 🙏 http://uguisu-koyasan.com/index.html
KarenUnited States of America - 7.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 134 reviewsWe are so happy we chose this temple for our stay in Koyasan. It was quiet and peaceful and the staff was very kind. The morning ceremonies were definitely an important part of the experience. The place felt much less crowded compared to the other temple stays that we passed by in town, which we really appreciated. It has a nice garden and a relaxing indoor onsen, available for guests in the evenings.NimishaCanada

Loved the little granola packets for breakfast. Guesthouse is modern, clean, and comfortable. The location is good, very close to Family Mart and late-night restaurants which is convenient, especially since many places around Koyasan close around 6:00 PM!

Our rooms looked out onto the lovely garden. Room was comfortable and clean. Lodgings were close to Kongōbu-ji and a 15 minute walk to Okunoin Cemetery. We enjoyed the prayer ceremony in the morning.NickiAustralia
- 9.2Scored 9.2WonderfulRated wonderful· 1,348 reviewsIt’s very hard to read this property because you cannot really compare it to a normal hotel experience. It is not a luxury experience in that sense. But it is a very nice lodging within a temple of Buddhist monks. The experience is extremely interesting.
