A really nice shukubo experience - definitely recommend it. You get a sense of the daily life of the monks, and it is well located next to all the main sights in Koya. In the morning, you can participate in two rituals, and they are as depicted on the photos. Hope to be back some day!

What an honour to be able to join in morning service and have it explained. They were very helpful with all questions. It was very clean. Although booking.com only allows 3 people, they were able to accommodate room for 4. Thank you for welcoming gaijin.

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!

What an amazing experience! Friendly and welcoming staff, well maintained and spotless clean traditional japanese room. Using the onsen is very relaxing in the evening after the vegetarian dinner full of unknown tastes and consistencies. Taking part of the morning meditation is highly recommended. It was a great place to stay and have a local experience in Japan. Koyasan is not too crowded which makes it wonderfull.

Dinner was fantastic. Our room was really clean and spacious. The staff gave me a chair in our room and at meals as I am six months pregnant which was so kind, as I could not sit on the floor. The gardens and buildings were beautiful. Good location and easy to catch nearby buses to the cemetery and station. Made it back no stress after the night tour.

We stayed indoors after check-in as it was raining all day. It was a good decision to just relax and enjoy the serene and beautiful location. Tasty vegetarian dinner was promply served in our spacious and very clean room by attentive staff, on our chosen time, then our beds were made up after dinner. It was beautiful to experience the morning prayer before breakfast. I wish we had stayed at least 2 nights to enjoy the beautiful Mount Koya and its nature.
