Kodai-in Temple (Pilgrim's Lodging) — Attraction in Koya

We had the most memorable stay at Kodaiin. Everything is remarkable, the hugeness of the rooms, the view of the garden, the kotatsu and the food! Absolutely amazing, with English menu which pointed out the gluten. Life saver for me, since I'm gluten intolerant.

They spoke perfect English, the service in the morning was a spiritual experience.

The whole place was spotless, the bath is superb.

I honestly don't understand how this place is not more popular, it was just us and another 2 guests.

The second temple we stayed is at is not even remotely on the same level.

Thank you very very much for the...

Booked through the Koyasan tourist office. Was a little nervous as to what to expect. A lovely stay. Room massive and food very nice. Everything clean and comfortable. Koyasan itself lovely and can walk around and see the history / culture - worth the trip from the city (the rail journey and cable car are worth it themselves as the countryside seen is beautiful). The garden within the temple was outstandingly beautiful (5 mins to walk around). Single monk praying in the morning - don’t expect large group etc but still nice to witness another...

We spent couple of night in the Inn in October. It was so nice and peaceful. The owners are friendly. The husband is a monk, and together they give such a nice rhythm to the temple.

The food was great, I don’t know how much of it cooked by them or if they get deliver from an other place and it was amazing.

Their bath, is so so soooo warm, I loved it so much. The breakfast is to die for.

They have a garden that is so peaceful to watch, and they welcomed our daughter with no fuss. ( not all accept kids )

Thank you...
