We got a chance to participate after official service was completed. They took the time to explain the temple and Buddha. I have zero complaints. The only thing that wasn’t expected is the heater in the room die in the middle of the night . My opinion remains unchanged despite the setback. The staff really goes above and beyond to help with anything. I felt like I was received like family for overnight stay. If I was to come back to Koyasan I’ll be more than happy to stay at fudoin. Thanks to the staff for a memorable experience. I will not forget. ##### Stephane Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda 25 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The temple is lovely and the area is rich with history. Dinner and breakfast were delicious and ample. The room was very comfortable for our party of six, with beautiful views, a private bath, and large sitting area. The beds are futons, so they may not be comfortable for those who have back/physical issues. The morning prayer service is a must. The monks and staff were wonderful. A memorable stay! ##### Linda Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jon 23 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Excellent service and very low key. I got up early in the morning and wanted a coffee. I went to the front desk and asked if they had coffee and a man directed me to a coffee making machine that was excellent. I wanted a second cup and needed change the man helped me out. Later I went to the morning service and come to find out the man helping was the reverend of the temple! Super nice! Morning service was excellent! ##### Jon Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jared 24 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Despite Fudoin being a temple, the accommodations were truly excellent. Both the staff and the monks were extremely pleasant and helpful. It struck a balance of being respectful to the space with luxury. We opted for a garden view room and weren't disappointed. For the small extra cost we got a private toilet and bath, the most space we've had in Japan, and an unbeatable view. We spent more time in the room than expected. The food was great and the dining room and dinner rooms were both beautiful and felt spacious. The 9p curfew was later than many neighboring locations meaning we had time to do the night tour in Okonuin, which was very special. The morning ceremony was also well balanced for westerners. It was in Japanese and English where appropriate and let the audience participate. Koya was lovely and not overcrowded (3rd week of April). Refreshing after coming through the tourist crush in Kyoto. Overall a great place to spend time. ##### Jared Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Tsuru 13 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Visit to (modern) Koyasan Stayed one night at this Shukubo. The place was beautiful - temple, garden, room, surrounding area. My husband is a Vegan, so he was very happy with the meal. However, I found it to be a little dissapointing. Shukubo evolved during the past 20 years, and now catered to foreign visitors. The meal was all vegan, but not the old fashioned Shoshin food, they were too modern and too catered to foregners. The morning service was also modified to suit foreigners. The place has lost its authenticity, along with much, much higher price. We will not be going back to Koyasan again. I liked the old Koyasan in the past. ##### Tsuru Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### peter 30 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A very unique one night only experience. The property is immaculate. The dinner was a wonderful tasting of many things I had never tried, all very good and filling. Breakfast was not as good. The hotel staff was very accommodating and kind. The morning prayer was peaceful and beautiful. The only complaint is the sleeping mats are paper thin and extremely uncomfortable, even after placing one on top of the other with all the blankets it was nearly unbearable. Neith my wife nor I got more than two hours of sleep. It's too bad, because we have slept in other Ryokan style places that were traditional but not painful. For this reason I would advise asking in advance for something better to sleep on. ##### peter Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carlene 7 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The whole Buddhist experience was amazing! ##### Carlene Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louie 16 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderful stay.

The food was excellent, everything was spotless, and the staff was exceptionally attentive. We especially enjoyed the morning ceremony, which made the experience memorable. On the downside, the stay felt quite expensive by any standard. Considering the price, it was disappointing that every step in the hallway could be heard, and that drinks other than tea were not included. ##### Filip Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### b 28 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities tranquility ##### b Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yeeman 9 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Amazing experience! ##### Yeeman Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alex 22 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We loved our stay here.
