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. ![Goma fire ritual](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6300c218-8d85-4a73-9056-a624adfb5904-1753514779859.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Olin Crnetery](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0ac725f1-1bfe-4e2d-b686-19f63b8316db-1753514780026.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from our room](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4cb1d3a9-0f53-4cb2-929a-a1047ecbfd5d-1753514780501.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Entrance to the property](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/68bfe043-39d8-47d8-a85f-7f31f9bbef43-1753514780741.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Steven Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chloe 5 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Ekoin was such a beautiful and peaceful place to stay.

This is not a hotel stay. Food was amazing, as were the experiences that came with the stay. The only downside was there are no private washing facilities, if that is a deal-breaker for you. ##### Elijah Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dimitrios 18 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staying in Eko-in is an experience not to be missed. Our room was amazing, in the annex building, which felt brand new. The night cemetery tour has been the highlight of our Japan trip and the morning prayer and fire ritual were also great. Food was amazing and plentiful although Japanese breakfast wasn't a hit for us. We bought some pastries from Family Mart to have as backup, which came in handy. Free parking is provided too. The monks were all very welcoming and spoke good English. ##### Dimitrios Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anh Tuan 27 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I wish we’d spent more time here and in Koyasan! The temple stay was so comfortable and experiential, with beautiful views everywhere we turned. It is also right on the main street, within easy walking distance to the main attractions such as the Okunoin Cemetery (in fact, the Cemetary night walk starts here). This is a special highlight among the many great things we’ve done in Japan! ##### Anh Tuan Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Febby 5 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderful experience and hospitality by the staff. The room was beautiful, mix of traditional and modern amenities. We booked a room that included private bathroom and it was probably one of the best and memorable stays we had in Japan. The food was fantastic and the staff were kind, patient and accommodating. They appeared to be used to foreigners and travelers, and able to navigate and meet everyone’s need. ##### Febby Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louise Charlotte 21 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our stay at Ekoin was the highlight of our two weeks in Japan. The room was beautiful and warm even though it snowed while we were there, the food was abundant and absolutely delicious on top of being a cultural experience, and participating in the morning service and fire ceremony was very special. We would absolutely recommend booking the Okunoin night tour as well, the monk who guided it was amazing and it was so different from going in the daytime. ##### Louise Charlotte Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jenni 28 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing experience It was truly an amazing experience. At first please note that this is not a traditional hotel, but a active temple which hosts travellers. My room was traditional room with a tatami floor and shared bathroom. Room and bathroom were both clean and nice. The atmosphere in the temple was calm and quiet throughout my whole stay. Food that was served was amazing. It was also interesting to follow the morning service and the fire ritual. ##### Jenni Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roma 10 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our stay at the Ekoin Temple was a highlight of our trip to Japan and we will be back! Thank you to all the wonderful people of Koyasan and our shukubo for their hospitality, kindness, and openness to welcoming visitors to this most special place. Our accommodations, the food, and temple grounds were truly wonderful. But most of all, I would like to express gratitude to Nori who we were fortunate enough to be paired with for the many offerings the as part of the stay. Thank you Nori for sharing your stories and educating us about Koyasan’s sacred history. ##### Roma ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer 20 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful temple accommodation Really lovely temple accommodation with friendly monks and an excellent vegetarian dinner. Just be warned in winter the complex is mostly not heated (heaters are provided in rooms, but they’re kerosene so you have to be careful) and toilets/sinks are shared. Bathing is onsen style which I liked a lot. Views from some of the rooms are lovely. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/31A24CE900D74484AAE3C86E6F48A99E076EC5DE1703057996015.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jennifer Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria 26 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Koyasan Eko-in Escape busy Tokyo or Osaka for this calming, welcoming and nurturing town of Koyasan. You’ll be warmly greeted regardless of what shops you enter or which temple you stay in. However, I must say that the team at Eko-in really goes above and beyond to make for an incredible experience from start to finish. They guide you step by step upon check-in and let you know what to expect along the way. Things not to be missed: -4:30 pm guided meditation -In-room massage therapy by monks -7pm cemetery walk (if it doesn’t rain, ours got cancelled due to weather) -7am morning prayer -7:30am fire ritual Cannot recommend highly enough!! 🏯🍜🎋📿 ##### Maria Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Robert 29 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It’s a great experience ##### Robert Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna 23 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Super services, tasty food, Goma fire excellent experience ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/eb77990f-6fad-4af0-b5e4-b396af3571ee-1747990820984.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cc68aa67-39a7-4211-820f-cfcf479ce62f-1747990819691.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b79251c0-92d0-4201-8a36-af51137f92f4-1747990812777.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/062112ba-8dd5-46c8-ab0b-8701a7a3a013-1747990822996.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Anna Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna 1 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I was welcomed with a warm greeting by an english speaking monk.

We learned meditation techniques and took part in the goma ritual, which was truly incredible. The shukubo is very clean and well maintained. There’s no AC or private restroom since the original structure is preserved, but that adds to the authenticity of the traditional Japanese stay.
