The owners were the kindest people on this planet, we arrive late in the evening after check in hours and they greeted us with smile and kindness, even prepare a dinner for us! Forget about temple lodging, this is THE best place in koyasan! Suzume-san rules :)

Location was near the bus stop (#10). Location was also very near Okunoin cemetery. Was also conveniently located near the meetup point for the night tour. Meals were vegetarian but still good. Had all the amenities. Staff was very friendly and would tell you in advance what time were meals served and morning prayers. They also allowed you to leave your luggage after check out.

What a gem this place is. Our stay here was a highlight of our trip to Japan. We wanted to get out of the city for a few days and experience another side of Japan and we really hit the jackpot. The house is located a short walk from the train station on a cool little historical street in Gojo. And also right next to a nice river with a great walking path. Shugo was a fantastic host for our family. His English is perfect (he grew up in Japan and Australia) so communication was a breeze. We got to know him a bit and he's a a really great person too. Highly recommended!

We loved the attention to detail, especially the vintage record player with Japanese vinyls and how well stocked the kitchen was (oil, spices, rice, coffee etc. - the best we had in Japan!). Staff was very accommodating. Very spacious, perfect for our group. We had to change the group size due to a mistake of our own and it was very easy to resolve, thank you for that. We had a great time!

Tommy and his wife gave us a really nice welcome. The rooms lacked nothing and the breakfast was excellent. Very good option to stay in Koyasan. In addition, Tommy gives valuable tips on what and when to see. There is also a visitor center right next door where you can rent electric bikes, perfect for exploring Koyasan.

Loved the location - a walking distance away from the main areas you probably want to explore. Also easy to take a bus to Okuno in, or even walk there (about 40-50min when walking). The room was superb, exactly as described. The host was super helpful and kind, helped me to get local experiences I couldn’t find info easily online about. Highly recommend this place - thanks again!!

We stayed there during the winter and the electricity went out. Even though it was Sunday evening we immediately got alternative Heater, light and candles. While we had a great dinner, electricity came back and they prepared a hot bath for us (which was awesome). The food is great, the morning prayer an experience and the service awesome. This place is a must go, even if it is just for one night.

Great hosts, good location, very clean and comfortable. Lucky to have their restaurant on site for dinner - one of nicest meals we had in Japan - that is, home cooked by Guest House owner, an outstanding chef.

Very friendly and accommodating hosts! The guest house was at a great location (very close to the bus stop and a convenience store) and the family room was very spacious and clean. Would definitely stay here again and I highly recommend it if you are not planning to do a temple stay at Koyasan! I also highly recommend visiting the cafe - great croissants and drinks!

Great location right in the heart of koyasan town. Very convenient to walk to any attractions nearby. Room facilities are up to bar with some 2-3 star hotel I have been to. Tommy is a super friendly host. He recommends a lot of great local experiences from places to have dinner to different trekking trails and temple rituals you can attend for free. Tommy and his wife run a cafe next door and it’s open from 8am which is a rare thing in koyasan (most shops open at 11am). You get a big discount if you stay at Tommy guest house too ❤️

Tommy Guest House is one of the few guesthouses in Koyasan and certainly the best. Our room was very well equipped as described and quite big. Everything was extremely clean, there were clean towels, new water and tea on the second day. The guesthouse is just a few steps away from the bus stop in the center of Koyasan. Tommy is such a warm and courteous host. The contact before our stay was always quick and super nice. A clear recommendation!

A wonderful Guesthouse in a quieter part of Koyasan but within easy walking distance to all the major attractions. Extremely clean and tidy with large shared living spaces. Conveniently located close to the only Family Mart in town, a bus stop and a little park. Nori, the host, is most helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. I highly recommend Hachi Hachi.
