    We stayed for 2 nights, and although sleeping on a tatami was a little bit hard for our old western backs, the overall experience was worth the try. The atmosphere, both in Koyasan and in the monastery, the morning buddhist ceremony, the delicious veggie meals, the kindness of staff (they provided us with 2 chairs as we were unable to sit down on the ground) made it unforgettable. Thank you

    From Staff

    We truly appreciate you taking the time to leave such a detailed review. It's heartwarming to know that the unique atmosphere of Koyasan and the monastery, the Buddhist ceremony, the vegetarian cuisine, and the helpfulness of our team contributed to a memorable stay for you. We're pleased we could accommodate your needs with the chairs.

    We did the reservation on the Website of the Koyasan-Shukubo official booking site. They suggested the sanbo-in temple to us. It was a great experience. Everything in the temple-lodging was fine. Breakfast and dinner were excellent, the room big and clean. The onsen was restful after the walk in koyasan and the mountains. We were invited to visit and join the morning-prayer. It was a really great experience. We like to thank the monks of the temple.

    From Staff

    A reduction seems appropriate given the ongoing construction works and the somewhat unprofessional service during dinner

    Phantastic stay in Kodai-in temple. We had a big room with a view to the Zen garden and trees in autumn colours. Breakfast and dinner was excellent, the bath impeccably clean. The Buddhist hall with its 900 years old Buddha is simply stunning. Such a special place, Koyasan, and we were lucky to have found Kodai in. I wish the family all the best. Petra from Germany

    From Staff

    Dear Petra, thank you for your wonderful review of your stay at Kodai-in. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the spacious room, the autumn colors, and the exquisite meals. It's also great to know that the Buddhist hall and its ancient Buddha left such a strong impression. We wish you all the best as well and hope to welcome you back to Koyasan in the future.

    Staying at the shukubo in Koyasan was truly a unique experience. Every detail was perfect, from the beautiful location, surrounded by the serene nature and spirituality of the area, to the warm and attentive hospitality, and the food, which was exceptional in both quality and presentation.

    Amazing temple with a very kind and welcoming staff. The food was delicious. The room was great, except the fuel heating which had a strong smell and did not look healthy to use.
