Nous sommes un couple et c’était la 3 eme fois que nous venions à koyasan. Nous connaissons bien cette expérience immersive chez les moines . Nous avons été super bien accueilli déjà avant l’heure du Check in. Ils ont mis nos bagages de côté et sommes parti visiter le cimetière. En revenant en fin de journée, des apprentis moines nous ont accueilli avec un immense sourire et avec humour presque. Ils nous ont servi du thé et des okakis (crackers) le temps de faire le Check in. La chambre était traditionnelle, tatamis et futon avec toilette privative toto et lavabo. (Ce n’est pas toujours privatif dans d’autre ou les toilettes sont communes). C’était beau et propre. Un mini frigo. Des bouteilles d’eau et du thé à disposition avec bouilloire. La douche et le bain (sento), super propre et chaud, c’était super agréable de pouvoir se baigner au calme après une grosse journée. Nous sommes tatoués et n’avons pas vu de restrictions à ce sujet. D’ailleurs il n’y avait personne en même temps que moi ou mon fiancé donc c’est comme si c’était privé ! Repas à 5:30 pm, végétarien et délicieux alors que nous adorons la viande, là on s’en passe. Service impeccable. Cérémonie du matin où mon fiancé est allé, superbe expérience comme d’habitude et les moines étaient à disposition pour les questions. Petit déjeuner à 7:30 am. Aussi bon que la veille ! Départ agréable rien à dire, nous repartons avec un super souvenir de cet endroit. Nous recommandons Soji-inn.

When planning my trip to Japan, I went out of my way to go to Ekoin Temple. I were going to Tokyo and Kyoto and I thought this would be a wonderful way to end the vacation and that it would be the highlight of our trip. I thought that it would be a very unique, off the beaten path, ”authentic” experience. Pro(s) - (1) The room was beautiful. No question about it. The room was large, and comfortable. We booked what I believe was the most expensive room because I was not sure what to expect in a ”monastery” and I thought that this would be the safest option. Comment - (1) - We pre-ordered the ”best” meal. There was a lot of food. We just didn't like it. I can't blame Ekoin, it may have been good - but there wasn't much that we liked. For two people, you are served in your room. At first I thought that they just didn't have extra space (after all, this is a monastery not a hotel). I now believe it is because there are a lot of people, and it would ”detract” from the religious/calm atmosphere that you would expect in a monastery. Con(s) - (1) Outrageously expensive for what you get. It doesn't seem that you are invited to witness the daily rituals of the monastery / monks. It is more like 40+ people squeezed around a small area where two monks chant and light a fire. Not to say that it wasn't unusual, but this was more of a ”show”. As it just so happens, I (unexpectedly) saw a fire ritual in Tokyo, in an operating temple. Only a few people, some were there to pray. That was probably the highlight of my trip to Japan. Again, not to say that Ekoin was ”bad”, it was just not worth the money or effort to get there. (2) Night cemetery tour - again, it was fine. Nothing was ”wrong” - but we walked through the cemetery for about an hour. It was OK - but again, not worth the money. In conclusion, this is certainly ok (but not a highlight). Very expensive for what you get. Maybe if you are in Koyasan and hiking or doing something else, this might make more sense. There is only one bus going back and forth to Kyoto/Osaka so timing may be an issue especially if you have a flight to catch. We didn't realize it when we booked this, but the cost was an additional $350 (USD) to take a taxi back to Osaka. Keep the logistics and total cost in mind and then decide if Ekoin will be a good option for you.

This is truly an amazing experience, we slept on comfy futon beds on tatami mats and shared the bathroom amenities with other guests which wasn’t a problem as there were plenty. The onsen in the ladies shower room was lovely and relaxing. At 7am we attended morning devotions with the monks and afterwards were served a vegan breakfast. As we had not booked for dinner we brought our own vegetarian food with us as we were advised that eating places closed early and the temple gate was closed at 9pm. We bought the Koyasan World Heritage Ticket which covers the rail round trip from Nankai Namba and two days of free rides on the local Koyasan hop on hop off bus. An experience not to be missed.

It’s hard to rate this location as it’s not like anything I’ve experienced before. So a good thing to keep in mind before you go is to set your expectations. This is not a hotel so you won’t get hotel amenities. We didn’t have a private bathroom, there are limited plugs in the room, you have to wear slippers inside, limited communal shower times, and you sleep on futons on the floor. What you do get is a wonderful experience: the optional morning prayer (the whole experience was 1 h 20 min), vegetarian dinner and breakfast (some kids might not like but adventurous souls will enjoy), peaceful surroundings, old architecture, easy walk to all major sites. I would totally recommend this place for a night in koyosan. I think one night is perfect to get the full magic of the place.

Located in a former Buddhist town, Fumonin was originally a training hall for monks founded by Kukai, the founder of the Shingon school of Buddhism. Guests can relive some of the history as they take part in traditional vegetarian cuisine or wake up to the sound of the bell signalling the early morning religious service. There are Western, Semi-Western, and Japanese-style rooms available and select rooms have internet access via LAN.

We stayed here in Oct 2018 for 1 night with a friend, we wanted to experience staying at a Buddhist temple and a short stop at Koya-san provided this opportunity. We stayed in a Japanese style room which was great, the room opened to an inner courtyard/garden. Vegetarian Japanese dinner and breakfast was included and it was a beautiful feast, more filling than what I expected. Check-in is between 3pm-5pm but as early arrivals we could leave our bags in the office/lobby. Check-out was at 10am and again they kindly stored our luggage for us until we had to leave. The ryokan is in a central location which was important to us because we could easily walk to all the sights in town. Dinner was at 5:30pm, breakfast at 7am, there was an evening curfew at 10pm and the Buddhist ceremony in the morning was at 5:50. Staying here was not a cheap option but the whole experience was just fantastic, we really got value for our money. I highly recommend this temple and would stay here again.

Property Location With a stay at Rengein in Koya (Ito-gun), you'll be steps from Kongobuji Temple and 3 minutes by foot from Koyasan University. This hotel is 0.1 mi (0.2 km) from Konpon Daito Pagoda and 0.3 mi (0.5 km) from Danjo Garan Temple.

After spending two hours getting to the temple from Namba, it was refreshing to absorb the peace and tranquility of the place. The place is just a short walk up a slight slope from the bus stop where we got off. Check-in was smooth with good explanation on the place and the facilities. Place was spotless and they ensured that by helping to clean the wheels of our luggage. Room is of ample size for four of us in a traditional setting sleeping on tatami mats. A toilet is attached to my room but the bathing facilities is a sharing facility which was clean and spacious. Dinner and breakfast were superb vegetarian meals. We also had a great experience with the morning prayers which also taught us a meditation method. This place is within easy walking distance to the small town center with restaurants for lunch. Bus schedule to other places are posted on the bus stops. Overall, we had a peaceful stay here which was a good break from the hustle of the big cities.
