Great place to stay for Koyasan with very friendly hosts and a good location to start exploring. There is also a restaurant in the same building which we recommend highly. And if you still need anything a Family Mart is just a brisk walk away.

I emergency booked this place at the last minute as my hiking plans were interrupted by a bear. Within 10 mins of booking I arrived and was immediately greeted with open arms by Paola. Paola is an incredible host and an amazing person who went above and beyond to provide unbelievable food, inside information on the unmissable parts of Koyasan (including fire ceremonies), an intracate and beautifully designed home, and a cappuchino that far surpassed the expectations of even a Melbournian. Staying at Koyasan Space, though not originally part of my travel plans, was the highlight of my trip and will be something I remember forever. I was very lucky to have encountered that bear in the forest, as it lead me to this amazing experience. Thank you very much Paola.

Tourists beware: this is not an hotel. This is a temple, and as a temple it must be respected in all its aspects. The structure is not “rich” but is comfortable and in a very beautiful setting. The garden is pure magic and the monks are friendly and willing to share their knowledge. The position is perfect for visiting Koyasan and its treasures. Please, respect this place.

What a gem this place is. Our stay here was a highlight of our trip to Japan. We wanted to get out of the city for a few days and experience another side of Japan and we really hit the jackpot. The house is located a short walk from the train station on a cool little historical street in Gojo. And also right next to a nice river with a great walking path. Shugo was a fantastic host for our family. His English is perfect (he grew up in Japan and Australia) so communication was a breeze. We got to know him a bit and he's a a really great person too. Highly recommended!

We loved the attention to detail, especially the vintage record player with Japanese vinyls and how well stocked the kitchen was (oil, spices, rice, coffee etc. - the best we had in Japan!). Staff was very accommodating. Very spacious, perfect for our group. We had to change the group size due to a mistake of our own and it was very easy to resolve, thank you for that. We had a great time!

Everything was really good! The hosts are very nice and can speak English. We stayed in the House Number 2 and it is very beautiful! We would recommend anyone to sleep there. You're basically in a renovated Japanese traditional house.

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.
