高野山 宿坊 恵光院 -Koyasan Syukubo Ekoin Temple-

Koyasan

A 1000 year-old Buddhist temple, Shukubo Koya-san Eko-in offers Japanese-style accommodation, a beautiful garden and free WiFi.

Staying at Eko-in was an exceptional and unforgettable experience. I highly recommend booking the Okunoin cemetery night tour—it was both atmospheric and deeply moving. The meals are fully vegetarian and beautifully presented. If you're not a fan of tofu, some of the dinner dishes might not be to your taste—but that, too, is part of the cultural and spiritual experience. I was initially anxious about sleeping on a traditional futon, but it turned out to be surprisingly comfortable and added to the overall sense of authenticity. A truly unique stay.

I wish I could have stayed longer in the temple! A very authentic experience with the room only being heated by a heat pump. Great location in the middle of all of the attractions. The food experience was also amazing: sitting on a mat in nicely decorated chamber with bamboo walls separating from other members staying in the temple. I also had the chance of bathing in the onsen which was amazing to have it onsite!

Paola is incredibly kind and attentive. Every detail in her Japanese-style guesthouse has been carefully chosen. She has put so much thought into selecting each piece, and each has its own story. Throughout my stay, I felt a sense of peace and love. ........ Thank you so much, Paola. I’m so happy to have met you and to have stayed at Koyasan Space. I look forward to seeing you again!

I spent a night at this temple in mid-January. It was unique. The atmosphere, the architecture, the food, the possibility to participate in goma ritual and the morning prayer. It was cold in the corridors and the temple rooms, but that is normal in those old and traditional Japanese structures. The oil heater in the room did a good job. But the highlight to warm up is the bath! It's just wonderful - a traditional Japanese bath with a wooden tub. What was also very special, was to be served dinner in a room of my own (I was travelling alone). The temple is located right beside the entrance to the Okunoin cemetery - so a bit off the centre of Koyasan, but the perfect place, if you look for tranquility. This temple is also special, because it has a really really long history, and it's architecture is mirroring the architecture of Koyasan's main temple.

The temple is very impressive and wonderful, situated in a beautiful garden, surrounded by the forest. The most impressive part was of course taking part in the morning ceremony. The sleeping rooms are in a separate building next to the temple. We had booked the dinner and breakfast, which was a great experience. Many different dishes are served and arranged in a traditional style - definitively recommend to book this plan! They have a nice onsen, so this stay included all of a traditional ryokan experience.

    wonderful atmosphere in this spiritual village. Our room was exceptionally large, comfortable and both modern and traditional. It included a small zen garden and a beautiful hot bath. The top level Buddhist food was both plentiful and delicious. Wifi was good. Rooms were very clean. Keep in mind this is a traditional Japanese hotel and you have to remove shoes everywhere you go. The meditation session was short, but informative. The night tour was also interesting. The morning prayers were also moving.

    This was a beautiful experience. The temple is gorgeous. The rooms were very clean. Everything I needed was there. Joining in the meditation and listening to the morning chanting was restful. It was in a great spot, close to the road but calm and peaceful inside. It was a short walk to Koyasan village and many of the attractions.

    This place was hard to get to from Osaka but so worth it! The village is spectacular and this property offers dinner and breakfast so you can enjoy the surroundings and not worry about food. It is more traditional than other places you'd stay at, you get to experience sleeping on the floor and the food they serve is vegan.

    Excellent authentic and comfy stay in Eko-in Temple at Koyasan village! Food was an amazing experience on our first days in Japan! We also attended to morning ceremonies which were interesting (we also got some pre-information about the Buddhist ways with a Okunoin night tour).

    Authentic temple stay experience. Awesome temple - like a large Japanese villa. Simple rooms which were well worn but comfy beds. You're here for the experience though - food, onsen and morning prayer ceremony all fantastic opportunities to try something new for Westerners. We were a family with teens and all loved it!
