Koyasan, being a revered spiritual destination, offers a limited number of traditional hostels or highly social guesthouses. Accommodation primarily consists of temple lodgings which can be expensive. However, there are a few guesthouses that provide more affordable options, focusing on a comfortable and welcoming stay with opportunities for gentle interaction.
1. Koyasan Guest House Tommy
Type: Guesthouse
This guesthouse offers a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, serving as a more budget-conscious alternative to temple stays. Its central location makes it convenient for exploring Koyasan, and a cafe is available on-site for simple meals or drinks, fostering a relaxed environment.
2. Koyasan Guesthouse Kokuu
Type: Guesthouse (with hostel-like options)
A cozy and clean guesthouse, Kokuu is known for its helpful English-speaking owner who provides useful tourist information.
