Kongo Sammai-in
Buddhist temple
๐Ÿ˜ This place is connected to a hotel, with unusual unfriendly personnel, however respectful I was. Well, everyone can have a bad day ... The buildings on the complex however are nicely located and well maintained. The little garden is a pretty center place.

Kumagai-ji Temple (Pilgrim's Lodging)
Buddhist temple
๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Amazing experience. We booked only one night and really wished we could stay longer. The monks are really kind and eager to help. When we got there a lady who is fluent in English checked our reservation and showed us to our room, explaining everything about the temple along the way. Our room had a...

Muryoko-in Temple (Pilgrim's Lodging)
๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ At Muryoko-In, they have very good measures in place for social distancing. In past years, meals were taken together, whereas they are now brought to the rooms of visitors. The original artworks in each room were wonderful to experience. The shokubo association was very helpful in making this stay p...

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Personal, friendly, centrally located and great value. Due to a last minute booking and limited availability, we stayed at two separate Buddhist Temple Ryokans on Mt Koya. The first was Hoon-In (cheaper/smaller) and the second was Rengejoin (expensive/bigger). The difference was chalk and cheese wi...

Cafe & Izakaya Marutaka
Restaurant
๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Amazing little cafe and restaurant in Koyasan right opposite Danjo Garan. Perfect for a delicious yet filling lunch I'm between seeing all the temples. Run by a Japanese-Czech couple. Get there between noon and 2.30pm for the set lunch menu of veggie curry for ยฅ1,200. Highly recommended.

Hanabishi
Japanese restaurant
๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Very friendly and polite staff. Very tasty buddhist-style bento boxes. Portions are quite large. Some are vegetarian and vegan. A bit pricey, but thatโ€™s expected in a very tourist place at the top of mountains. English menu is available. Highly recommended!

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ By far the best looking coffee shop. It's small, cozy and warm. They have free, fast WiFi, unlike other places in the area. The employees speak decent English and can understand more than the other locals around here. The food/drink is also served really quick since there are not many seats and cust...
