Pensionaatit – Koya

”Excellent stay: warm welcome, tasty food, comfortable rooms. ”

”It was truly an amazing experience. At first please note that this is not a traditional hotel, but a active temple which hosts travellers. My room was traditional room with a tatami floor and shared bathroom. Room and bathroom were both clean and nice. The atmosphere in the temple was calm and quiet throughout my whole stay. Food that was served was amazing. It was also interesting to follow the morning service and the fire ritual. ”

”Very beautiful place. The rooms are impeccable. The food was superb. ”

”We stayed one night in a very traditional Japanese temple Jokiin at Koyasan mountain. What an experience! We had the priviledge of attending the morning ceremony performed by local monks. Staff was extremely friendly and we enjoyed our stay at Jokiin. Looking forward to our next visit :) Highly recommend!”

”Very nice stay, lovely staff”

”Great place and experience. The food was fresh and good and friendly people both working and living in the temple. Remember that it's cold in the temple during winter. The bedroom is warm.”

”Very good place to stay at Koyasan. Main gate closes at 9pm so be inside early enough. The location is just next to the big cemetery in Koyasan They serve only vegetable food which is very tasty.”
