Find the Cheap Koya Hotels

Friendly in English. Most foreigners stay. The room with bathroom and toilet is impeccable. The hotel recommends Japanese massages very unusual. The breakfast and dinner portion is suitable for ordinary girls. Morning and evening meditation has no English/Japanese background to feel the environment. It takes a little 15 minutes to walk from the main street. The hotel has a paid luggage service, which is convenient for people who need to walk to the next stop.

I drove for three hours in the morning and arrived at Koyasan from Kyoto. The temperature on the mountain was 5 or 6 degrees cooler than Kyoto. We stayed at Huiguangyuan, a 1000-year-old Buddhist monastery. The temple has traditional Japanese-style rooms and beautiful gardens. The meals are Buddhist and vegetarian, and the service staff are monks, making people feel the Japanese Buddhist culture. The morning morning there was a Buddhist morning class and meditation activities. [Konoyama] On the altar, Kalan - Jingangfeng Temple - Huiguangyuan. Koyasan is the ancestral ancestor of Dongmi Mang, and was founded by the master of Hongfa in the 7th year of Hongren (816). Legend has it that the Master of the Seas was willing to find a lotus sacred place like Wutai Mountain in China to promote the Dharma. When the line went to Gaoye Mountain, a pair of white dogs and black dogs led the way. The Masters of the Sea followed them to discover the eight peaks around the Gaoye Mountain, so they were Here you build your own dojo, which has been passed down to the present. The altar on the altar is the center of the entire Gaoye Mountain, and it is also the place where the empty sea masters first built the temple. The Jingangfeng Temple is the largest temple in Koyasan. It was originally built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1593, and was renamed as the King Kong Temple in the Meiji era.

After spending two hours getting to the temple from Namba, it was refreshing to absorb the peace and tranquility of the place. The place is just a short walk up a slight slope from the bus stop where we got off. Check-in was smooth with good explanation on the place and the facilities. Place was spotless and they ensured that by helping to clean the wheels of our luggage. Room is of ample size for four of us in a traditional setting sleeping on tatami mats. A toilet is attached to my room but the bathing facilities is a sharing facility which was clean and spacious. Dinner and breakfast were superb vegetarian meals. We also had a great experience with the morning prayers which also taught us a meditation method. This place is within easy walking distance to the small town center with restaurants for lunch. Bus schedule to other places are posted on the bus stops. Overall, we had a peaceful stay here which was a good break from the hustle of the big cities.

Sufang is the most anticipated part of the formation of Koyasan. The so-called Sufang is actually living in a temple to experience the practice. There are more than 100 temples in Koyasan, and dozens of them are open to tourists. It is different from the small Japanese-style houses in ordinary hotels. In addition to being located in the mountains, there are also practice experiences such as eating fast, morning classes, and copying scriptures. In the morning class starting at 6:00, the sky was still dark. In December, Koyasan was already very cold. When I saw the girls next to me, they were very cold. The monk's chanting calmed the mood. Around the lobby of the morning class, this temple is dedicated to the spiritual position of the people. Compared with the mysterious sense of religious rituals in Japan, and Japan with frequent natural disasters, religion seems more secular to ordinary people. It is noticed that when monks recite scriptures, the instruments used to make sounds are used quite frequently. This is probably why there is music such as Buddhist electronic sounds in Japan. Zhaifan is quite exquisite. The combination of ingredients also takes a lot of effort. The monks do not eat meat and rely on soy products to supplement protein. The tofu made by Koyasan has also become a local famous thing. After breakfast, dinner is not wasted. There is a public bathroom that can be used for soup, there is a public smoking area on the first floor, and a wine list is optional. Unlike the imagination before the visit, the monk who received our English communication was ok, warm and gentle. Although Sufang's experience was more secular than expected, living in the headquarters held a good memory of the trip to Koyasan.

We stayed for one night. The location really is magic, our room was comfortable and it was nice to attend the early morning ceremony before breakfast. The time for dinner was really early and strict (17:45!) but it's recommended to eat in because everything around there closes early. Even if the curfew was at 21, the staff sent as away from the common spaces where we were quietly enjoying the night view at 20:20, while they let a loud group in the entrance disturb everyone until 21:30, so I was a bit upset for this. I enjoyed the onsen but it was very small, I was lucky it wasn't crowded because no more than 4 people can fit in. I personally liked the vegan dinner and breakfast, beautifully presented, but it's not for every stomach and nobody tells you what you are eating (they only told us ”this is rice, tea and watermelon”, we could guess ourselves lol). In the complex, the experience was good and I recommend it, but it's a bit too expensive for what they offer.

It was a very comfortable and wonderful shukubo. The correspondence of the receptionist is good. The care is also wonderful. Access is very good as it is in front of Kongobuji Temple. Convenient to go anywhere. The food is delicious. The morning work experience was also a very good experience. The story of the priest was also very nice, and he spoke in English to foreign customers. I think all the participants had a good experience. I was able to take pictures freely inside the temple, and the priest was good at chatting, so I had fun and had them take pictures together. I think everyone in this temple has a wonderful personality. I was able to eat in my room and relax. The bathhouse explained the rules with illustrations written in English and Japanese to foreigners. The way to wear yukata was also drawn. It was posted in an easy-to-understand place, so I think foreign customers will read it properly. It was a nice shukubo with consideration and hospitality. I definitely want to go again. Check-out is 10:00, so I was grateful that the shops and temples were open. I really recommend this place.

The Zhimingyuan has a history of more than 900 years, and there are many rooms in Sufang. The room facilities are simpler, the public bathroom, breakfast and dinner will be delivered to the room, very delicious. The winter room is quite warm. There is a beautiful garden in the inner courtyard. The room facing the garden on the first floor should not be too beautiful, but unfortunately ours is on the second floor. On the top of the end of a corridor in the monastery, I accidentally saw the poems left by President Zhao Puchu when he attended the 1150th anniversary of the Air Sea Into the Sea in 1985.

It is located near Ichinohashi, the entrance to the approach to Okunoin on Mt. Koya. It was founded by Kobo Daishi during the Tencho era (824-834). Koyasan Shingon Buddhism head temple. The principal object of worship is Hatsukaichi Daishi (a wooden statue made by Kobo Daishi). Book a shukubo on Rakuten Travel. There are two types of rooms: fusuma partitions and wall partitions. None of the rooms have baths and toilets. There are options for meals such as none / breakfast only / 2 meals, dinner 2 meals / 2 meals, dinner 3 meals. Select the plan (16,500 yen) of ”wall partition room, 2 meals and 3 dinners”. I was assigned to the farthest room, two rooms of 6 tatami mats + 4.5 tatami mats. It is true that the partition from the next room is a wall, but the partition from the corridor is a fusuma and shoji door. That is, there is no key. There is a fan in the room, but there is no air conditioner, so it may be difficult to stay in the middle of summer. Amenities include face towels, bath towels, and toothbrushes. There are 3 karans in the shared bath. The bathtub is made of cypress (probably) and is the size that about 3 people can enter at the same time. It's different from a ryokan, so you shouldn't expect a large bath. However, it is annoying that hot water only trickles out from the callan/shower. The morning service starts at 6:30 at Reihido. You can sit on a chair and listen to the sutras chanted by the monks. There is a tour that guides you through the hall and you can take pictures. Part of the building was built about 170 years ago, and was used as a reference when reconstructing Kongobu-ji Temple. There is also a goma tree attached, and you can experience the goma practice that starts at 13:00. This was my first experience at a temple lodging, so I don't know if this was standard, but it was certainly a valuable experience.
