高齢の母と宿泊させていただきました。食事のときに椅子を態々準備していたいて、 　また朝の読経時も椅子が設置されており、館内も昇降機があるので、母親も心地よく滞在させていただきました。 　読経の後での院内を楽しくわかりやすい説明で案内していただき、地下の仏舎利を直接見ることができるのは、初めてだったので大変興味深かったです。 　母もとても喜んでおり、感謝いたいます。

Staying in the temple for two nights was the most amazing part of our two great weeks in Japan. We travelled with three adults and two kids (13 and 9 years). We had a very large double room, which was mesmerizingly beautiful in its simple japanese design. Air-condition was lovely during the hot summer season, worth mentioning when traveling with kids: the doors of the room etc. are literally from paper. We felt very welcome, also the kids. Communication in english was easy. The public bath was a pleasant experience, toilets were shared with other guests, clean and close by. Being able to participate the morning ceremony was an honour, and and impressing experience for the whole family. We went for a maybe 8km walk, north from the village uphill, on a forest street, entering the famous Koyasan cemetery from uphill, and it was super nice! Small important detail: when entering sacred areas, also the cemetary, you are expected to cover your shoulders, and of possible also your legs with appropriate clothing. If or when visiting Japan again we will be happy to visit Koyasan again.

For an European, this was like visiting the ISS. Barefoot, tatami dinner, shared bath where i was alone, night curfew which felt like sleeping in a medieval fort, morning prayer and tatami breakfast again. Plus the abundance of history all around.

Great location in the center of town so very convenient to visit the temples and cemetery.

Very beautiful place. The rooms are impeccable. The food was superb.

Traditional Japanese Buddhist temple experience.

Staying at Fugen-in Temple in Koyasan was an incredible experience. The atmosphere is peaceful, the staff are welcoming and kind, and everything was beautifully taken care of. The room are clean, spacious and beautifully decorated. The temple is located right in the heart of Koyasan, which made it very easy to walk everywhere and explore this magical place. Koyasan itself is truly unforgettable, and staying here made the visit even more special. I am very happy I chose Fugen-in Temple and would certainly recommend it to anyone visiting. I hope to return one day!

Wonderful experience. Morning prayer fire ceremony with the tour of the temple was unforgettable. The temple has a piece of Buddha ashes. Shojin Ryori (Buddhist meal) was delicious and amazing. I would definitely be back for solo trip in the future.

This will have to be my most favorite part of my trip to Japan. You will have to intentionally come here for the temple stay. First and foremost, the facility will ONLY ACCEPT CASH payment for the stay. Though my wife and I were not too fond of the shared wash rooms to wash up. I don’t believe the facility has rooms with private wash rooms. The staff was exceptionally nice and helpful. They offer traditional breakfast and dinner(vegan friendly, though I am not, very delicious!). Wake up early(6AM I believe) for the prayer and breakfast after. The town does close early with no convenience store to buy snacks if you’re hungry.
