While outwardly simple ‘pilgrim lodgings’ it’s hard to tell Eko-in from a top notch ryokan or hotel. The rooms are superb, the location glorious, the food wonderful and the service exemplary. On top of this you have the lovely spiritual element.

Beautiful temple. The experience was amazing. The location is very good, close to the cemetery and not far from the other temples. The dinner and breakfast were very good. It was very nice to see the ceremonies in the morning. Nice onsen to relax.

We are over the moon to see the Buddha relic at this temple! The staff is very kind and tried to introduce Buddhism in English! After the morning chanting, we had a temple tour and saw the Buddha relic 💯

- Super clean and tidy - Really comfortable bed/beddings - AC (heating/cooling) - THE LOVELIEST PEOPLE EVER (who go above and beyond for their guests) - Very tasty food at the restaurant - Convenient location (only a couple of minutes away from Konpon Daitō – The Great Pagoda) and easy to get around in general - I booked only 1 night as I was on a tight schedule. In retrospect, a minimum of 2 nights would’ve been a lot better to explore Koyasan

Shukubo Fudoin is set back from the main road but is in the centre of the village and in close walking distance to all the main sights. The rooms were immaculate and peaceful. We arrived early but the rooms were ready and our host explained the protocols clearly and with great kindness, before serving us a cup of tea and a lovely mōchi treat. The bathhouse was available for our use from late afternoon until 8pm. The meals in the evening and morning were generous, tasty and beautifully presented. The monks and their team were humble, polite and completely charming. Prayers at 6am was a great privilege to participate in. Although we were there for only one night, we left refreshed and rested.

Excellent, would stay again in a heartbeat. They were fantastic with my wife’s allergies and provided delicious changes that didn’t leave her wanting during the stay. It was clean and comfortable and we loved the space. Everyone was polite and helpful regardless of language barrier and it was a really relaxing stay whilst learning about the history of Koyasan.

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 breakfast was amazing, we stayed for 3 nights and every morning it was something different, nutritious and delicious! Staying with Paulo was amazing, she really goes above and beyond to make sure you feel welcome and have everything you need. The space itself is traditional Japanese and was beautiful to relax in, highly recommend! Koyasan is a very special place, if I was to ever return I would stay again at koyasan space as it fitted the vibe of the whole village.

A quiet setting with a beautiful view from the hotel room. The meditation and morning prayer are unique experiences for visitors who want to learn Buddhist culture. Breakfast and dinner are delicious vegetarian meals though it might not be enough for those with a big stomach.

Very genuinely kind staff. The room is very comfortable with complete amenities. The adjoining restaurant/cafe also provided delicious food for dinner and breakfast. Totally recommended for people who want to enjoy Koyasan but wanting to save on accommodation by not staying in the temples.

What a fantastic experience to stay at a home away from home. The hosts were very welcoming and accommodating since we wanted our family to be together in one place. They also explained the highlights of Koyasan and we highly recommend Tommy guest house due to the warmth of the hosts, the cleanliness of the accommodation and the delicious breakfast that is homemade especially the tomato salad and the carrot cake. Thank you for baking our stay so special 😊

Beautiful shukubo in Koyasan. The temple is across from the Konpon Daito Pagoda, easy to reach from the bus stop. The breakfast and dinner were very nice and delicious. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The facilities were spotless and really clean. Our room had a view of the garden which made it feel very calm and peaceful. This is one of our favorite accommodations in Japan!

This property offers a unique experience, staying at a Buddhist Temple. The half board inclusion is Japanese vegan food, reflective of what the priest and monks eat every day. It was well prepared and enjoyable.Although they don’t consume alcohol it can be purchased at a reasonable price during dinner. The spacious accommodation is operated by trainee monks who were very friendly and make us feel most welcome.

I like the simple, no frills needed, temple accommodations. The monk that met me was friendly, easy to communicate with, and I found the other guests to be respectful and friendly for the stay (shared toilets and bathing rooms). I enjoyed the morning prayers, and I feel good about staying here. I will come again. Arigato.
