Just beautiful. The temple is gorgeous and serene. We had the family room with a private bathroom which was clean and a good size for our family. The dinner was perfection and one of the best meals we had in Japan. We wish we had booked for longer.

A really nice shukubo experience - definitely recommend it. You get a sense of the daily life of the monks, and it is well located next to all the main sights in Koya. In the morning, you can participate in two rituals, and they are as depicted on the photos. Hope to be back some day!

The stay in place was simply outstanding! Absolutely a must have if you are around Koyasan. Temple stay gives you a different perspective of Japan. So peaceful and harmonic stay. Surroundings are amazing to explore. Room was perfect and dinner and breakfast both were so fantastic experience! Essence of Japan!

Paola is incredibly kind and attentive. Every detail in her Japanese-style guesthouse has been carefully chosen. She has put so much thought into selecting each piece, and each has its own story. Throughout my stay, I felt a sense of peace and love. ........ Thank you so much, Paola. I’m so happy to have met you and to have stayed at Koyasan Space. I look forward to seeing you again!

I love everything about the temple: the accommodations, the people, the routine, the foods, the location, the serenity it brings. It was the best trip I had this year, also the best experience - especially that everything here so simple yet leave strong impression on me. I travel with my close friend and we both decide to come back next year. I really miss the place and want to come back once hit the city.

    What a fantastic experience to stay at a home away from home. The hosts were very welcoming and accommodating since we wanted our family to be together in one place. They also explained the highlights of Koyasan and we highly recommend Tommy guest house due to the warmth of the hosts, the cleanliness of the accommodation and the delicious breakfast that is homemade especially the tomato salad and the carrot cake. Thank you for baking our stay so special 😊

    Beautiful shukubo in Koyasan. The temple is across from the Konpon Daito Pagoda, easy to reach from the bus stop. The breakfast and dinner were very nice and delicious. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The facilities were spotless and really clean. Our room had a view of the garden which made it feel very calm and peaceful. This is one of our favorite accommodations in Japan!

    This property offers a unique experience, staying at a Buddhist Temple. The half board inclusion is Japanese vegan food, reflective of what the priest and monks eat every day. It was well prepared and enjoyable.Although they don’t consume alcohol it can be purchased at a reasonable price during dinner. The spacious accommodation is operated by trainee monks who were very friendly and make us feel most welcome.

    I like the simple, no frills needed, temple accommodations. The monk that met me was friendly, easy to communicate with, and I found the other guests to be respectful and friendly for the stay (shared toilets and bathing rooms). I enjoyed the morning prayers, and I feel good about staying here. I will come again. Arigato.
