Everything about this accomodation was beyond my expectations. We arrived to a beautiful traditional room, guided to a private room for a wonderful evening vegetarian meal, and then walked the town until close of the temple. The futons were soft and comfortable, the room showed us how easy it would be to live under these conditions. Slept through the prayer session at the temple (unfortunately) at 6am but the breakfast was another marvellous meal in our private dining room.

We loved our stay with the exceptionally kind and helpful couple. It’s a remote village up a steep mountain road, with a great bar next door! The food was delicious. We enjoyed chatting to the hosts. We had a trip to Mt Koyasan and got drenched in a rain storm. The kind hosts dried our shoes in a special Japanese machine!

Super Friendly staff inglish speaking, the girl at check-in was super nice and welcoming. The place is clean and in a well located. Common space are good and it also a bar and pub open at 6pm and create nice vibes with locals come to drink something. So if you want you can easily connect with people. At the end that's a the place if you want to chill a little bit outside big city life.

Lovely hosts - I arrived drenched & exhausted from finishing my Kumano Kodo hike. They were very helpful with all my wet gear & boots, and (once I was finally dry) recommended local restaurants and onsen.

Tommy is a great host! The room was very clean, bigger than japsn standards and had everything you need on vacation. Tommy gave us a lot of useful info so that we managed to attened the fire cerimony and the chanting cerimony all for free. If i ever go back to Koyasan, I'll book this accomodation again.

Comfortable room and great hosts. Incredibly helpful to us even after we checked out and returned to collect our left bags soaking wet after getting caught in the rain. Our host provided towels and heating for us to dry out and warm up. The restaurant was great as well. Highly recommend.

The host was very friendly. He shared homemade plum wine with us, which was super delicious, and he also provided us with some oranges. He also gave us route guidance and shared the bus schedule with us. What I liked most was that the host picked us up from Tanabe Station and sent us from the homestay to Takijiri the next day, so we saved the bus fare.
