Koyasan Shukubo Jokiin

We had a room with private bathroom but there was a japanese bath which was very nice. Very nice place and the monks were very nice and helpful. In the morning they had a ceremony with the guests which was also very interesting

Beautiful hotel, the monks attending are really nice, definitely go to the morning ceremony, it is worth it. This is near everything and very centric to all the landmarks nearby. The "beds" are pretty hard since its traditional, but its manageable for a night or two. Meals were really good, definitely don't skip them and take the chance to eat traditional monk meals.

The staff is very friendly!

This was one of THE best experiences I have ever had in all of my travels, including the two weeks in Japan. I struggled to decide which temple lodging to choose in Koyasan, and I am so glad I went with Joki-in. The check-in experience was wonderful, welcoming and helpful staff. They tour you through the entire property and help you adjust to temple life. Our room was bigger than every hotel we stayed in in Japan and a private bathroom (most the other temples do not have this) - sold!!! The garden, and bath, were so relaxing to enjoy. I actually had the bath to myself! The location is superb and the curfew is 10pm, which is great since most temples in Koyasan are 9pm! I found the food to be delicious and unique and sleeping on the floor extremely comfortable! I loved everything about this, just wish we could have done 2 nights here (but the price didn't allow for that!) If you aren't sure which temple to choose, choose this one!

Way overpriced for what it was. While the garden and the services were good, it’s not a working temple for monks. It’s more like an inn for tourists in a temple structure. The morning Buddhist service gave me the feeling that it was just catered for tourists. By all means check out Koyasan during the day but you would be better off staying outside the mountain for a fraction of the cost. There’s nothing extra zen about staying at this place.
