"Way overpriced for what it was. While the garden and the services were good, it’s not a working temple for monks. It’s more like an inn for tourists in a temple structure. The morning Buddhist service gave me the feeling that it was just catered for tourists. By all means check out Koyasan during the day but you would be better off staying outside the mountain for a fraction of the cost. There’s nothing extra zen about staying at this place. "
"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. "
"We were so glad we made it to Koyasan during our Japan adventure. Our stay at the Fudouin was very nice, a very peaceful retreat from the hectic pace of the cities. "
"El templo es muy bonito, pero la experiencia muy decepcionante. En el check in no dan información del templo, te informan de horario de cena, desayuno y ceremonia, sin más. Las habitaciones están en fuera del templo, por lo que a las 17. No hay ningún tipo de contacto ni actividad para hacer ni te ofrecen info.

"Fantastic hotel near Kansai Airport. It is clean, well-kept, great amenities (including a hot bath). While there is not much in the area, there is a Lawson convenience store close by and the hotel breakfast is well-worth it. "
"Everything was just great! It made us feel very comfortable. It was helpful that all the staff were capable of communicating with us in English. Since people are coming to experience a true Japanese style of living, be sure to attend the morning prayer service, and the fire ritual. They cost nothing to attend and give a wonderful insight into the culture of Japanese people and Buddhism in particular."
"I read the reviews just before I checked in. And question myself what have I booked!!
But for my surprise, the hotel doesn't disappointed at all .
The room is clean and good size for 3 of us with 3 single beds. The view is facing to busy road
Great way to end of our holiday in Japan by the dinosaur reception.
Journey to go the hotel was a bit uncertain as no people there.....
There is nothing in the area so check in in late afternoon just for shower and sleep.
Quite happy for it, will book again when I use KIX for early or late flight. And near distance
