Best Hotels near Oku-no-In, Koya

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.

Hashimoto City? It is rude to say that it is unexpected from the ramen shop to the rotary sushi shop within walking distance, including the business hotel and the tavern in the premises, but the restaurant is arranged, and the location is quite good. There are also large baths, vending machines, coin laundry and happy facilities when traveling. I was worried that there were not many storage when I stayed overnight, but there were tables and sofas that I could work on a personal computer, so I could recommend it for business use. The staff was kind and it was a hotel that I wanted to use in Koyasan sightseeing.

Very satisfied. Very beautiful Takano Mountain, very quiet Buddha holy place!

Although this hotel is far from the city, it is really friendly for self-driving travel. There are many parking spaces in the flat parking lot. It is a pity that the parking lot is all open-air, so the car will be very hot when the car is used the next day. Opposite the hotel is a large shopping mall, there are also game centers and mass-market shops. The standard room of the business hotel is large and comfortable, and the luggage can be fully opened. The bed is also very comfortable, and the sheets are laid out as the basic business hotel. Breakfast is buffet style, with a variety of Japanese and Western dishes, although the style is not very rich, but eat very happy every morning. There is a bus stop near the hotel, but it is indeed a bit far from the city center, but it is close to the airport. It is very suitable for travelers who plan to reserve time to the outlet. Have the opportunity to stay again.

Standard Japanese business hotel, albeit with an onsen and newer than most. Breakfast is adequate, with western coffee on offer. Location is not central, but within 10-15 minutes walking distance to Shimo-Isaka station, restaurants, and a supermarket. Not exactly geared towards non-Japanese travelers, since the staff hardly speaks English and the hotel information given is only in Japanese. Extremely satisfied with it considering the affordable room rate.

We made our way to Koyasan with our small group of 5 plus our guide, via a maze of trains, busy stations and platforms, a furnicular up the mountain and finally a bus to our temple stay. It was cold weather, even though it’s April. There were still a number of cherry trees blossoming- so pretty. The temple was attractive and comfortable ( if you count sleeping on the floor, sitting on the floor for meals comfortable!). Our room was heated but the rest of the temple was not so it was cool walking to the onsen and the meal room. Our room had the futon, pillows ( very uncomfortable), a low table, small TV, wifi, hanging space. Our evening meal and breakfast were traditional Japanese vegetarian and interesting food. We purchased sake for a very reasonable price with the evening meal. Beer was also available. The onsen was a good cultural experience ( and even better because I was there alone!) Our accommodation was very close to the Okunoin cemetery which is an absolute must see.

The owner is a foreigner and the service is very delicate. I did n’t turn off the lights at night and reminded me before going to bed, very nice. Every day I come back with a welcome back tea. I want to provide an electric kettle and air purifier. The family is very attentive, and the service is not said. Points to be improved: 1. The moisture in the room is heavy and moldy. When I come back to the house every day, I can't help coughing. I spend more than an hour in the room and feel uncomfortable. 2. The air conditioner in the house didn't know that the filtering system had not been cleaned for several years, and the wind blowing out was also stinky and moldy. 3. Don't call and ask if you have afternoon tea for a long time after you return. It is unpleasant to wake up sleeping in Zhengxiang. 4. The spring water is natural, but the outlet temperature of the hot spring is only 13 degrees. This cannot be called a natural hot spring. The smell of pls bleaching powder is too strong.

On map it seemed to be remote from any subway station, yet the transport was easier than it thought to be. Taking Nankai Bus (Route 23) from Hineno Station to the last stop (Inunakiyama), the Inn is just right in front of you. Our stay was in the Japanese style room with private hotspring. Spacious room and tidy. The private hotspring tube is at the semi-enclosed balcony, and spacious enough for me to stretch and sit, yet still fully submerged in water. Dinner and breakfast were served in traditional “Washoku” style, which were great but the cuisine just might not be to everyone’s taste. Relaxing, quiet and private was perhaps the best conclusion of my stay, and yes, the private hotspring experience was phenomenal. Honestly a bit pricey, but definitely an enjoyable and unforgettable experience.
