We had a fantastic experience at Honno-In. We were met by and extremely kind gentleman who showed us around the immaculately kept Temple accommodation. The garden was beautiful and our room looked out onto it. We were greeted with tea and cake in our very comfortable room with heater and electric hot water bottles in the beds. Each party had their own dining room and we were were served the best meal that we experienced in all of our 2 weeks in Japan. Breakfast was similarly delicious following pray, which was led by (and explained by) a lovely monk. What a glorious start to our day of walking the pilgrims trail and temples of Koya San. Mt favourite part of our Japanese vacation.

Excellent stay, we all really enjoyed the tranquil Sanbo-in; everything from atmosphere, food, and hospitality was top notch. We opted to walk to the West cliff before dinner, then through the cemetery in the East after dinner. I didn't get a chance to try the bath since it was fairly small for the amount of people looking to use it, though it did look relaxing. It was nice of the temple to allow us to attend the morning sermon, though a couple in our group thought it was too cold during the prayers; maybe that depends on the time of year. In any case, both dinner and breakfast were vegetarian and easily one of the best meals we've had. Would highly recommend an overnight stay at a temple here and to enjoy the surrounding settlement both during the day and night.

Nous avons vécu une expérience incroyable en famille (enfants de 23, 19 et 12 ans). C'était une chance de pouvoir participer à la méditation et l'office avec les moines en étant novices. Le dîner était gargantuesque. Le petit déjeuner copieux. Une parenthèse inexplicable dans notre voyage de 3 semaines. A refaire mais plus longtemps ! Merci encore pour votre accueil. Morgan

Second time in Koyasan, first one was a more expensive one but this temple was super charming and the staff very friendly. I found super easy to check in and be part of prayers

Sleeping at Ichijo-in Monastery was a wonderful experience. The place is beautiful, and our simple yet elegant room overlooked the lovely garden, perfectly suited to experiencing classic Japanese style. The sanitary facilities were modern, and the onsen bath was excellent. The food was well-prepared, refined, and delicious. Attending the religious service was interesting for a layperson and aesthetically beautiful. A truly special and highly recommended experience

We stayed in Daien-in Temple. It was a very unique and interesting experience. I am glad we planned this visit. We learned a lot. Do not miss a walk through the cemetery. It was essential for me to book a room with a private toilet. Koyasan Shukubo Association helped me to find a room and made a reservation. Thanks a lot!

Staying at Ichijoin was a once in a lifetime opportunity. The meals were impeccable and presented so beautifully. The onset experience was relaxing and refreshing. The staff was kind and helpful in every way. The area was in full fall splendor with glorious colors everywhere. We recommend this accommodation and experience to anyone that savors true Japanese hospitality and culture. We are so grateful to all who opened their lives and ways to us so graciously.

Charming place with you extremely know me staff. Surprisely good Englisch (sorry no Japanse). Fantastic dinner and breakfast.
