A modern interior with a glass-enclosed hot tub, wooden ceiling, and a view of a garden with a wooden fence and greenery.

Location: Katsuragi
Review: This traditional Japanese Inn is thoroughly modern with excellent facilities, rooms, Michelin quality food, and helpful staff. We want to call out ‘Mikki’ who was super kind and helped us with any language barriers we had. The entire restaurant staff was amazing and we are grateful to meet the chef. The onsens were also wonderful. A room here with breakfast and dinner included is an excellent value., by Douglas, April 19, 2025, rated 10/10 Excellent

Koyasan Shukubo Yochiin

Location: Koya
Review: Great experience. Location is great. Quiet and warm atmosphere. Dinner was well prepared. You have to sit down on tatami for dinner, but low chairs available. After meals, we were invited to the meditation. Morning service at 6:30 was a great way to start the day. Very nice atmosphere and it is run well. I do highly recommend., by Kiyoko, May 17, 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent

A traditional Japanese garden with a stone statue, koi pond, and a building with wooden architecture.

Location: Koya
Review: A temple that’s over 1,000 years old, nestled in Koyasan. This was the most beautiful, memorable and spiritual experience in all of my adventures in Japan. I had a quiet suite to myself, with a private bath & an incredible view. Worth every yen. Buddhist vegetarian meals were among the best I’ve had in Japan - and I love meat. Morning service with the resident monks is an experience that I’ll never forget. As this is a temple, please be mindful of noise & respect the curfew; also, do not take..., by Brian, November 12, 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent

A traditional Japanese building with large sliding doors, a tiled roof, and a small garden with stepping stones and a tree.

Location: Asuka
Review: From the very first time we arrived in Asuka, on to the house. We were surprised by it's magic. The village is so serene, near by all the amenities we needed from walking distance to restaurants, grocery store, and train station. The house itself is absolutely magical. It's like a fairy tail. We arrived right when the autumn color burst out their magnificent red, orange, and gold. This place is even better because the hosts, the elderly couple who take cared of us while we were there were the..., by Curtis, December 5, 2025, rated 10/10 Excellent

A traditional Japanese garden with a building featuring a tiled roof and wooden walls.

Review: 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.
