Location was near the bus stop (#10). Location was also very near Okunoin cemetery. Was also conveniently located near the meetup point for the night tour. Meals were vegetarian but still good. Had all the amenities. Staff was very friendly and would tell you in advance what time were meals served and morning prayers. They also allowed you to leave your luggage after check out.

Nari was such an incredible host, everything was clean and he was very knowedgeable about the whole area of Koyasan and gave excellent recommendations. He is so kind and the rooms are so beautiful. Everything is super clean and cleaned multiple times daily. I came in very late on the first night and he was so helpful in trying to help me find out how to get there the best way. The only thing I regret is that I didn't stay there three nights instead of the two. I loved Hachi Hachi and would recommend everyone to go there.

Masahiro and his wife Nana are absolute fantastic hosts. We stayed in total for three nights in different rooms, and the couple felt like family by the time we said goodbye. We said farewell with the packed breakfast meals and two cups of our favourite coffee. The guesthouse is named after the parents who started the coffee shop, and it was their house. I would recommend at the very lease a two night stay to explore Koyasan properly, but three nights were just right for us.

The location, the story behind the tempel (see samurai armor) and the magical atmosphere makes this temple and temple stay incredible. The large rooms are authentic, clean and exceptionally well maintained. We had a view upon the Japanese garden from the seating area in our room. A must do for any trip to Japan! Also the evening cemetery tour is incredible. Great stories and legends.

    Great hosts, good location, very clean and comfortable. Lucky to have their restaurant on site for dinner - one of nicest meals we had in Japan - that is, home cooked by Guest House owner, an outstanding chef.

    Comfortable room and great hosts. Incredibly helpful to us even after we checked out and returned to collect our left bags soaking wet after getting caught in the rain. Our host provided towels and heating for us to dry out and warm up. The restaurant was great as well. Highly recommend.
