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 was probably the best guesthouse I’ve stayed at! Ryochi is an amazing host, and the service is excellent. You also get the chance to see the morning prayers, even though you’re not staying in a temple. The breakfast is very tasty, and the location is great—it’s a bit far from the town center, but right next to the cemetery, making it a perfect spot to catch the sunrise.

Tourists beware: this is not an hotel. This is a temple, and as a temple it must be respected in all its aspects. The structure is not “rich” but is comfortable and in a very beautiful setting. The garden is pure magic and the monks are friendly and willing to share their knowledge. The position is perfect for visiting Koyasan and its treasures. Please, respect this place.

Kaako was the kindest, thoughtfull person you could imagine, proud and eager to talk about her region, and willing to help you with everything you would need, hiking advice, transportation, etc... She is also an amazing cook, I had the best meals of my trip there ! Fully recommended if you love hiking, sightseeing, eating of course, and Koyasan is just 15 minutes by car. What else? The floor in the room has heating ! How great is that?

We loved the attention to detail, especially the vintage record player with Japanese vinyls and how well stocked the kitchen was (oil, spices, rice, coffee etc. - the best we had in Japan!). Staff was very accommodating. Very spacious, perfect for our group. We had to change the group size due to a mistake of our own and it was very easy to resolve, thank you for that. We had a great time!

Great hosts, good location, very clean and comfortable. Lucky to have their restaurant on site for dinner - one of nicest meals we had in Japan - that is, home cooked by Guest House owner, an outstanding chef.

A wonderful Guesthouse in a quieter part of Koyasan but within easy walking distance to all the major attractions. Extremely clean and tidy with large shared living spaces. Conveniently located close to the only Family Mart in town, a bus stop and a little park. Nori, the host, is most helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. I highly recommend Hachi Hachi.
