Truly a wonderful surprise. We decided to stay here as it was reasonably near to Koyasan (about 40-50 mins drive from Okunoin) while being much more affordable than lodgings in the main Koyasan area. You can also drive to Osaka and Kansai airport from the hotel (1 hr plus). We opted for both dinner and breakfast as the hotel's location was remote. We were blown away by the food, which was extremely delicious. For dinner, we were served a sumptuous and exquisite kaiseki meal which included both traditional dishes (e.g. matsutake mushroom soup; matsutake mushroom rice; plum soba noodles; nabe hot pot) and innovative dishes (e.g. western-style cream of mushroom soup with cheese, served in a Japanese persimmon; tempura with 3 types of salt - matcha, plum, and another flavour I didn't catch). The ingredients were all of high quality and the fish dishes in particular were very fresh. We also really enjoyed the dessert (persimmon mochi and dango). The plating of the dishes was beautiful. The breakfast was also excellent. We especially enjoyed the boiled tofu with sauce, and the half-boiled egg which was cooked to perfection. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful, particularly the gentleman who helped us to check in and guided us on our room and the hotel's facilities, and the serving ladies at the dining hall who patiently explained how to cook and consume the various dishes. We managed to communicate with the assistance of Google Translate and a combination of basic English & Japanese. The room was clean and fairly large for the price. The beds were comfortable and the blankets were thick and fluffy. The electronics charging station beside the beds with multiple USB ports was particularly convenient. The hotel also has an onsen which we enjoyed. Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay at this hotel which offered a perfect ending to our holiday in Japan.

The location was picturesque. The onsen was fabulous and available until late at night.

The house was lovely and the owner very nice and kind!

It's a very welcoming place, the staff is kind and friendly despite the language difference. I had dinner at the restaurant and it was unbelievably tasty, you should definitely try it. The room has all the essentials, they have a common area on the first floor with complimentary tea, coffee and hot and cold water and the place inside still looks traditional but well-maintained likewise immaculate clean. Also, super close to the bus stop and within walking distance of most of the attractions.

This is my second time staying at Ekoin and it was excellent just like last time. The meditation and fire ceremony were beautiful. The food was good last time but this time was even better, just delicious. The staff is incredibly friendly and the shared bath is spotless and super comfortable. I cannot recommend Ekoin enough.

A really beautiful property with stunning views of the surrounding rice fields and orchards. The blossom was in full bloom, is was so peaceful. I'd love to stay again. The parking is further down the hill as the driveway is hard to access for visitors (if you aren't used to the very steep roads and sharp corners). The owner met us in the carpark as it was raining and drove us to the door :)

I had always wanted to stay in one of the temples in Koyasan, and I think I chose the right one. It was an amazing experience living amongst the monks, engaging in the morning ceremonies, and enjoying the breakfasts and dinners. I would gladly return on my next visit.

Perfect stay. The monks are super friendly even if they don’t speak english. The food is good and very traditional and the rooms are great. Spacious tatami style, loved it so much I regret not staying longer. They even give you a flashlight if you want to explore at night. The placement is perfectly fine.

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.
