Excellent. Highly recommended. If you are a light sleeper you might want to bring earplugs. It’s a temple so ‘rooms’ are separated by dividers rather than walls. Food was delicious.

Great place to stay in Koyasan! We were met on arrival by a very friendly staff member who gave us a tour of the building and spoke English very well. Room was spacious, facilities were clean and modern, and food was excellent! Would definitely return!
