Amazing hike to the Okunion Temple. Unfortunately for us it rained on one day so we did not take a hike that we wanted to, but we will need to come back!
Absolutely loved staying here! Food is excellent, the room is comfortable, and I enjoyed attending the morning service. Koya-San was also a highlight of my two weeks in Japan and my stay at Fudou-in really enhanced that experience.
This was a wonderful experience all around. Staff was pleasant and spoke English, and the room was very cozy. The food was phenomenal. I hope to return someday!
We loved our stay here. The monks on staff were attentive, helpful, and kind. The Temple was beautiful, the food excellent, the morning services a great opportunity to learn more about Buddhism, and the entirety of Koyasan a great local to visit.
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.
Amazing experience! I loved it. Food was amazing too!

Good stay but uncomfortable sleeping arrangements
We have stayed in a number of residences with futon sleeping arrangements but found these futons particularly uncomfortable - too thin and therefore very firm. I also had a skin reaction to the fabric of the bedding so had a very uncomfortable night’s sleep. A shame because everything else was fine
Had amazing experience staying in this temple lodging. Staff (Buddhist monks) were super friendly and attentive. Highly recommend getting garden view room as the view is breathtaking. The entire experience was great with hotel, location, and the area. The only thing beds were a bit uncomfortable which was expected to be a part of this experience as traditional accommodation. Will stay again.
A lovely evening staying at the Fudu-in, the whole area of Koyasan is exquisite and you could explore all the tables for days. The accommodation was traditional and exactly as we expected, the food for dinner and breakfast was delicious.
A completely different, unique and immersive experience. Total calm and solitude. The opportunity to share in the morning prayers is an unforgettable memory
If you want to experience traditional Japanese ryokan style accommodations then the is the place. Very remote place in mountains. Meals are great, a vegetarian. Close to most attractions and walkable to main town. Don’t miss the morning service. They guide you through the prayers and give you a primer sheet. May be a little challenging if you don’t know Japanese.
