Koyasan Syukubo Zofukuin ★★

📍 339 Kōyasan, Koya

"I stayed here June 6th and 7th 2024 I have stayed at dozens of places in Japan over three months, from temples to hotels, guest houses, and hostels. I am not some person who has only stayed at top hotels then got upset when not knowing what to expect elsewhwere. This was the worst experience BY FAR. There is an extremely rude monk running the place. ***** bath only, which is not listed on the reservation sites. To make matters worse, it is only open for four hours a day in the evening. Want a morning shower or bath? Too bad, it is only open 4 hours in the evening. Want a clean bath? Too bad. There was a giant millipede swimming around in the bath. When I tried to show the monk and didnt take my slippers off in the right place of the bathroom he yelled at me. SHOES HERE NOW! I tried to say look please there is a huge bug (in Japanese) and he yelled again SHOES HERE NOW! NOW! I have no idea how such a rude person became Buddhist, he clearly does not follow his own religion. In every Japanese accommodation there is at bare minimum communal hot water for tea and a microwave. Not here though. When I asked about it the monk acted like I was crazy and gave me an attitude. He left the office at 3:30 and disappeared despite a 5pm closing time. Need info? Too bad."

Koyasan Shukubo Jokiin ★★★

📍 365 Koyasan, Koya

"Just amazing. Smack opposite main temple. Walkable to everywhere and the food served by the monks was terrific. Great guided tour on first night by training monk Sake was so informative. If you’re there for two nights then do tour on 2nd night as you’ll better understand things and have more insight."

Rengein ★★★

📍 399 Koyasan, Koya-Cho, Ito-Gun, Wakayama 648-0211, Japan, Koya

"A wonderful hotel. Very clean, it feels like it's been renovated. They have the most delicious vegetarian breakfast and dinner! There's a service at 6:30 AM in the morning, followed by a short tour of the temple the hotel is attached to. Please note that the hotel closes at 9:00 PM, meaning it's impossible to visit Okunoin at night."

"The environment was very clean, the room was bright and smelled of wood, providing a comfortable and peaceful stay. You could participate in the morning and evening prayers along with the temple's itinerary, and the vegetarian meals were superb – very thoughtfully prepared!

Koyasan Syukubou Fudouin ★★★
"My first time at Shukubo, Fudoin was a very good experience. Fudo-in was built in 906 to enshrine King Fudo Myoto. Emperor Toba and Empress Toba of the Heian period are buried here. Currently there are 14 rooms, 3 room types, 4 without bathroom, 8 with bathroom, and 2 with both bathroom. This time I stayed in a room with a bathroom. The room was comfortable and clean. The public bathroom experience is also very good. The breakfast and dinner were very good. They were in a beautiful and elegant room. The dining location and meals were arranged in advance, and the waiters would come to the room to guide them. Many shukubo in Koyasan are facing the street. This hospital is not facing the street. It is quiet and unique. It can be reached by walking a short distance from the bus station."

"I really enjoyed my experience staying in a Buddhist monastery. It was a traditional Japanese room with tatami mats. The hotel also has a separate onsen for men and women. There's no shower or bath in the room, only a toilet. Dinner and breakfast are vegetarian, which is very unusual and definitely an acquired taste."

Koyasan Shukubo Jokiin ★★★
"The location is very good, clean and tidy, morning classes are relatively simple, and there are no activities such as meditation, scripture reading, and worship. Overall, it is perfectly fine as a hotel for accommodation, but it does not have much of a temple atmosphere."
