So friendly and confortable place

初めての宿坊泊でしたが、部屋もグレードアップしていただきゆっくり楽しめました。

We had a room with private bathroom but there was a japanese bath which was very nice. Very nice place and the monks were very nice and helpful. In the morning they had a ceremony with the guests which was also very interesting

Beautiful hotel, the monks attending are really nice, definitely go to the morning ceremony, it is worth it. This is near everything and very centric to all the landmarks nearby. The "beds" are pretty hard since its traditional, but its manageable for a night or two. Meals were really good, definitely don't skip them and take the chance to eat traditional monk meals.

The staff is very friendly!

This was one of THE best experiences I have ever had in all of my travels, including the two weeks in Japan. I struggled to decide which temple lodging to choose in Koyasan, and I am so glad I went with Joki-in. The check-in experience was wonderful, welcoming and helpful staff. They tour you through the entire property and help you adjust to temple life. Our room was bigger than every hotel we stayed in in Japan and a private bathroom (most the other temples do not have this) - sold!!! The garden, and bath, were so relaxing to enjoy. I actually had the bath to myself! The location is superb and the curfew is 10pm, which is great since most temples in Koyasan are 9pm! I found the food to be delicious and unique and sleeping on the floor extremely comfortable! I loved everything about this, just wish we could have done 2 nights here (but the price didn't allow for that!) If you aren't sure which temple to choose, choose this one!

Way overpriced for what it was. While the garden and the services were good, it’s not a working temple for monks. It’s more like an inn for tourists in a temple structure. The morning Buddhist service gave me the feeling that it was just catered for tourists. By all means check out Koyasan during the day but you would be better off staying outside the mountain for a fraction of the cost. There’s nothing extra zen about staying at this place.

Tres beau sejour atypique Repas et petit déjeuner vegetarien japonais abondant et soigné Cérémonie du matin interessante et inituation bienveillante au Bouddhisme . Passer une nuit à Koyasan permet de profiter du calme et du grand site situe juste à côté Onsen agreable

Der Aufenthalt in Jokiin ist nicht mit dem Aufenthalt in einem Hotel vergleichbar, es war eine interessante Erfahrung in einem Kloster zu übernachten, aber diese Erfahrung muss nicht wiederholt werden. Das Kloster selbst war sehr schön und die Mönche sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.

Had a good one night stay here. I was worried it wouldn’t be enough time to see everything i wanted too, but it turned out to be perfect. You can drop off your luggage before and after you check in which is really nice. Highlights for me were the public bath, and morning ceremony.

Koyasan is a lovely place and a must-see in Japan. As can be expected from a temple lodging, accommodation is pricey compared to what you get in a hotel of the same price but this is fine for me. Food was great, staff was friendly. I personally would have appreciated in the description a mention that the Deluxe room doesn’t have a window (as this is very uncommon for European standards and with a price of >1400 Euro I didn’t expect it). One point of serious criticism: the large Italian travel groups used the public bath without showering first…no adherence to the rules even during the morning ceremony during which 15/25 participants took photos and filmed behind the master’s back. I wonder why they bother to attend if they don’t respect the rules and spoil the experience for everyone else attending. Even their tour guide filmed. Very awkward. Otherwise a great place to stay!

Great place to stay. Ceremony in the morning also in English.

My family had a truly amazing stay here. One of the best experiences of our trip through Japan. The temple and surrounding area is beautiful. The staff spoke excellent English and the vegetarian food was great. Get up for the morning prayers if you can.

Peaceful, traditional and culturally stimulating. My neck didn't appreciate ro sleep on futon on the ground, but it's the rule

An amazing experience once in a life time we got the private room with garden view. Everything about the place is magical.

Os vegetais estavam com um aspecto velho como se estivesse a muito tempo na geladeira. Não tive coragem de comer. O tempurá é servido frio. A comida foi uma grande decepção, pelo o valor que cobram achei que seria uma comida fresca e gostosa. O templo oferece apenas uma cerimônia pela manhã, seria legal ter uma meditação ou mais interação com os hóspedes. Agora estou nos templos da Coreia, aqui é bem diferente eles querem mesmo incentivar uma transformação do hospede. No Japão é mais comercial, parece que querem mais o $

Not worth the money.

Unfortunately it was a very expensive accommodation. It looks like a ryokan but it is not. Yes it is a temple and it is an experience but the price was too much for a temple accomadation. The facility is very old, the halls are freezing, the food is not so nice. Check in starts at 15:00, check out is until 10:00. But if you attend the morning pray at 6:30, when you come back to the room, they will have already taken your futon beds and there is no more chance to sleep until check out. The dinner and breakfast is also cold. I wouldn’t stay in that place as 2 people for almost 400 €… They even do not have a fridge where we can put our cold drinks in the facility. There is also a curfew at 10 pm. You can not go out any more. Not recommended..

very good and frendly stay
