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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Absolutely wonderful experience!! The room and all of the facilities were exceptionally clean. Dinner and breakfast were delicious. The various flavors, textures, and colors were a real feast for the senses. The morning ceremony was very interesting and meaningful. It started the day off on a very serene note. Koyasan is a very peaceful, sacred, and beautiful place, and Koyasan Syukubou Fudou-in was the perfect place to stay. I will definitely return the next time I visit Japan.

WONDERFUL.

I cannot say enough great things about this experience. My husband and I generally stay in nice Western-style hotels while traveling, so we were a little wary about trying something different. But we loved every minute we spent here. Fudouin is ancient and traditional, with a few perfect modern/updated touches in the rooms that made it feel luxurious. The monks were kind and accommodating, the food was delicious (and so beautiful), and the morning ceremony is not to be missed. It's also a quick walk to the Okunoin cemetery, which is definitely worth a visit. Thank you to Fudouin for allowing visitors on your beautiful property, and for giving us an experience we'll be talking about forever -- or at least till our next trip back.

Such a relaxing evening. The dinner and breakfast are amazing, do NOT miss out. The room was so clean and the temple was beautiful. The onsen was relaxing. Takes a second to get up to Koyasan so plan accordingly. Loved the morning service as well. The monks were extremely welcoming and patient.
