Me and my boyfriend stayed here in April 2011 for 1 night, which we booked through Japanican. For me, it was a truly incredible experience. Prior to this trip I had never been outside of Europe or America, so you can imagine how culturally enriching it was to stay in a traditional Ryokan in Japan! My boyfriend had been before... More

For a western tourist, I would say this is a must, but you need to manage your expectations.. At first, this is in the mountains, it can get cold. We were there in March, and night temperatures are around 0 celsius. The place is just beautiful, it is like travelling back in time and seeing and living the traditional japanese... More

I’ve been living in Japan for 20 years and was very excited to visit Koyasan for the first time. Mega disappointment! While the Fukuchiin is a beautifully looking place, the food is definitely not up to the price charged for the stay (2 nights). We made the reservation through Rakuten travel for a deluxe room, type E, with garden view.... More

I reserved the rooms through the internet, including breakfast and dinner. The room price was quite expensive comparing to others in the area. I spent a night at the Fukuchi-in. The lodging is supposed to be a temple with a traditional stay facility. The lodging is very beautiful, more like a hotel than the temple. We had to use shared... More

We stayed at Koyasan Onsen Fukuchi-in for two nights. I can only sum it up by saying... It was an interesting experience in a beautiful place, but it was the worst sleep I've ever had. Koyasan Onsen Fukuchi-in is a working temple. The rooms are traditional Japanese style and you are served vegetarian monk cuisine for breakfast and dinner. You... More

The experience was different than what we expected, in the sense that we did not expect to have such good conditions. They even had internet available at the temple. The staff was very accommodating and our stay here was memorable. Not to mention that our entire experience in Koyasan was great. Amazing place!

We stayed here one night in May. The temple was located just steps from the bus stop. The site was fairly large and can accommodate large groups and families easily. Staff was friendly and attentive. One of the reasons we were attracted to it was the onsite onsen, but it turned out to be a bit of a disappointment because... More

(**Warning to those who are not fans of vegetarian, tofu, or foreign cultural foods, and cannot sleep on thin mattresses; you can skip this review and forget about the whole temple lodging/ryokan thing, and just stick to the western hotels. Meaning you have to get off Koyasan and get back to the city.) Location: As with many other temple lodges... More
