The apartment is a beautifully renovated Japanese house, decorated in a tasteful way, including several rooms for the guests to use, and a lovely garden. Everything was super clean. The hostess was extremely thoughtful and very keen to meet our every need. We were offered thoughtfully constructed dishes for breakfast, with each ingredient being of the highest quality.

Beautiful house in a peaceful town. The house has a very comfortable and completely private upstairs that is very big. There’s a living room with beautiful tatami and a lovely view. The bedroom is fitted with comfortable western beds, a balcony and a projector for watching TV. There is a private bathroom. There is a lovely walk over the river just a few steps away. It is so wonderful to rent the bicycles for free and cycle around the quiet little town.

We thought we might’ve missed out by not staying at a temple (like i did the last time i visited koyasan) but i can’t even BEGIN to describe how much better this was!! You can still experience the monks, the ceremonies, the food, and the temples without staying at a temple and all for a fraction of the cost! On top of that, our host ryochi was so incredible and hospitable!! As soon as we arrived he helped us cater a custom koyasan experience and made delicious meals at the guest house! The spaces were stylish and incredibly clean and we loved the community space where you could meet other travellers over tea. We really wish we had time to stay longer. Ryochi’s space makes it easy to feel at home in koyasan.

    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.
