"Amazing service, best vegan food I’ve ever had, very flavourful. Definitely a unique experience I’d recommend staying in a temple lodging like this at least once."

"It's a great hotel, it has anything you need. Private bathrooms are clean and and provided with amenities. Shampoo, soap, conditioner, brush, sponge, etc. A great buffet breakfast is provided Also it has vending machines and also the hotel has an Onsen (hot spring) and public bathing facility on the 1st floor. I highly recommend it "

"Amazing experience! Our room was beautiful and the hotel is in a great area for walking aroind Koyasan. I used the onsen and had it to myself. Both the dinner and breakfast meals were amazing, as was partaking in the morning prayer"

"Great property late check in and great price"

"A very different experience for a foreigner, and one that I cherished as a student of Buddhism. If you aren’t adventurous, I don’t recommend it, and if you go, please be curious, open, and full of respect. The non-sleeping rooms will be very cold in winter, the food served is the food served, without changes available, there are rules about which slippers to wear where and what can be photographed, etc. If you’re interested in deep travel (versus hedonism), you will be gifted and changed. Otherwise, please don’t go. "

"This is a great location, especially if coming by train. The location is at the train station, but an easy walk to many historic sites. "

"Syukubo Eko-in is highly recommended. The food here is excellent and staff is very friendly and helpful. The whole atmosphere is serene"

"Comfortable accommodation and good vegetarian food in an atmospheric Buddhist temple."
