Koyasan Eko-in Escape busy Tokyo or Osaka for this calming, welcoming and nurturing town of Koyasan. You’ll be warmly greeted regardless of what shops you enter or which temple you stay in. However, I must say that the team at Eko-in really goes above and beyond to make for an incredible experience from start to finish. They guide you step by step upon check-in and let you know what to expect along the way. Things not to be missed: -4:30 pm guided meditation -In-room massage therapy by monks -7pm cemetery walk (if it doesn’t rain, ours got cancelled due to weather) -7am morning prayer -7:30am fire ritual Cannot recommend highly enough!! 🏯🍜🎋📿

Wonderful for what it is. This is not a hotel stay. Food was amazing, as were the experiences that came with the stay. The only downside was there are no private washing facilities, if that is a deal-breaker for you.

The temple and the surrounding area are absolutely beautiful! Trying to check in though was a bit of a pain. It took me about 5 tries to finally get the person meeting me at the entrance to understand that I had a reservation and wasn’t just there to take a picture. He kept telling me to come back in the morning. I had to take the paper from his hand and point my name out for everything to get across. The rest of the stay went extremely well however.

Our stay at Ekoin was the highlight of our two weeks in Japan. The room was beautiful and warm even though it snowed while we were there, the food was abundant and absolutely delicious on top of being a cultural experience, and participating in the morning service and fire ceremony was very special. We would absolutely recommend booking the Okunoin night tour as well, the monk who guided it was amazing and it was so different from going in the daytime.

The English speaking staff were so helpful and if they couldn’t speak in English they still tried hard to help. Very walkable and convenient. Fire ceremony was wonderful. Very welcoming place. I stayed 3 nights and it was wonderful.

I wish we’d spent more time here and in Koyasan! The temple stay was so comfortable and experiential, with beautiful views everywhere we turned. It is also right on the main street, within easy walking distance to the main attractions such as the Okunoin Cemetery (in fact, the Cemetary night walk starts here). This is a special highlight among the many great things we’ve done in Japan!

Beautiful temple accommodation
Really lovely temple accommodation with friendly monks and an excellent vegetarian dinner. Just be warned in winter the complex is mostly not heated (heaters are provided in rooms, but they’re kerosene so you have to be careful) and toilets/sinks are shared. Bathing is onsen style which I liked a lot. Views from some of the rooms are lovely.

Wonderful experience and hospitality by the staff. The room was beautiful, mix of traditional and modern amenities. We booked a room that included private bathroom and it was probably one of the best and memorable stays we had in Japan. The food was fantastic and the staff were kind, patient and accommodating. They appeared to be used to foreigners and travelers, and able to navigate and meet everyone’s need.
