Nice and proper guest house in Koyasan. A supermarket is nearby. The kitchen on the ground floor has a handy instant hot water machine for tea or noodles. I loved the bathroom with a automatic warm water tap as well as a warm toilet seat. They left the outside door open so that I could go for a evening walk to Okunoin after curfew at 22:30. The room was a bit small however and the walls were very thin, unlike the booking that stated that the walls were soundproof. So it was very noisy when the cleaner ran back and forth through the hallway in the morning and vacuum cleaned rooms with the room doors open. An unpleasant way to wake up in the morning. The room and bathroom can also get a bit chilly.

Just a warning the hot water turns off at 10pm I believe, which you are told when you arrive.

This hotel is perfectly located to explore Koyasan; it’s on the bus line to the station and also the bus to the cemetery. It is also close to the temple complex. It is well heated, with special heaters for the hallway and bathrooms too, which is a lifesaver in winter! Clean, spacious, quiet, and the woman who runs it is very helpful.

Nothing not to like.

The location is more ideal than I realised when booking. All the buses now travel between the Station and the Cemetery going past No 19 bus stop where you alight for the Guesthouse. The buses are very regular. The food at the attached Gastropub was superb. The staff were amazing. We were very lucky that staff in the restaurant took the time to let us know (through translation app) that there was a Fire Festival the same day. It was one of my most memorable moments. I would not have known it was happening if they did not take the time to approach us. Thank you. In my opinion this end of the town was the best location. The room (family room) was well heated and plenty of bedding. We only used it for 2 friends travelling and it gave us plenty of space.

The place is well heated, has tatami floors and it’s just next to a restaurant and easy to acces by public transportation. I walked all arround but you can also take the bus that runs every 15 min. The people in charge are very nice and helpful … i was sick and they went to the farmacy and bought me some medication … they took really well care of me :)

There’s only one shower room, so sometimes you have to wait a while to take a shower. However this is common in the area

Great attention, very friendly personnel

Honestly, can't think of anything. Only advice I could give would be to check walking times from Okuoin cemetary so you don't get caught out returning late at night as buses are restricted. It's further than you think!

Lovely handlord as husband and wife also run the small cafe downstairs. Lovely couple, very friendly and welcoming. Orientation done at check in, was shown round to familiarise with rules of staying overnight which was polite and informative. Not many rooms so sharing the two toilets and one bathroom and shower was never an issue. Everything clean. Tatami mats super smooth. I recommend dinner and/or lunch at the cafe downstairs, very tasty, best food I've had in my 2 week tour of Japan. Very affordable too. What makes this place unique is the laughter of the staff interacting with one another and the overall friendly environment. Some workplaces don't have this but this place does and that's something special.

This is barely even a problem but I had trouble figuring out which of the 3 doors the entrance and had to call them, which was a tad embarrassing. If it hadn't been heavily snowing I imagine this wouldn't have been an issue...

Super friendly staff, they were good at trying to communicate with those who couldn't speak Japanese, loads of English written explanations if you need them. Warm and comfy rooms. Slightly set back from the most touristy part of the town which I liked. It's all so close anyway that it really isn't a bother.

Guest House Suzumeno Kakurembo is a private room accommodation with a shared bathroom separated by gender. As I stayed only one night after a hike on the Choishi Michi trail, the accommodation was suitable for me and I didn’t mind the shared bathroom facilities. I had my own room. The place is very clean.

It was my first experience with this type of bathroom and it was a learning curve

Perfect location, good food and very helpful and accommodating staff

Staying in Koyasan for New Year's Eve was a truly magical experience. The opportunity to witness the solemn prayer ceremony and hear the deep, resonant tones of the temple bell in such a sacred setting was truly unforgettable. The serene ambiance of the temple enveloped me, offering a sense of tranquility and peace that made time seem to stand still. For those seeking a unique and spiritual New Year's Eve, I wholeheartedly recommend Koyasan. Just be sure to book your accommodation well in advance. I love here in Suzumeno🫶🥰😘

Nothing

I enjoyed the family room as a solo traveler, plenty of space and the heating was good for me. I chose to stay here because it was too expensive to do temple stay during New Year holiday. The staff were so helpful and the food at the attached restaurant/cafe was delicious^^ I'd love to come back and stay here on my next visit to Koyasan. Very close to bus stop for convenient transport to the top attractions in the town.

They lock down by a certain hour. While that's not a big deal since there's really no need to be out late in this town, sometimes I like to take later showers (past 10pm).

-The entire place (room, bathroom, etc) was immaculately clean and well-maintained - Bed was comfy, there was an extra comforter as well as heater in-room - Host was amazingly helpful, took the time to answer all my questions and mark things on the map for me - While it was on the opposite end of town as Okunoin, it was still close to a bunch of other important sites as well as the bus stop and convenience store, should you choose to use it. If not, it doesn't take that long to get across town anyway.

The hosts appear a bit too strict at first.

Great place to stay in Koyasan. The place is new and very clean. Design is a mix of traditional Japanese tatami with a modern bed. The hosts make sure you understand how everything works. Short walk to main temples. Great value for money!
