I don’t want to sound cliché but I can not recommend this place highly enough. Please go and please stay here. Every bit of it was wonderful, the dining experience, the garden, the onsens, the waterfall and the staff: exceptionally beautiful and enthusiastically helpful people.

Place needs a major update. It’s extremely dated. The whole point is to experience life with the monks but it’s pretty hard to take if you are used to western amenities. Also, the monks do their best, but several are lacking customer service skills, and they have a lot of rules to follow.

Highly recommended!
This is a unique experience to live in a Buddhist temple for one day. Across the street you can find the beautiful Koyasan cemetery. Pure magic. The dinner and breakfast served was magnificent. We also enjoyed the spa at night. We are truly grateful for this experience.

This was a very unique experience to be in beautiful mountainous area living in a temple . The food is very different and fun to experiment with different vegetarian options we have never seen before. This is the only temple that does a powerful fire ceremony that was NOT to be missed! Loved this so much! Rooms are Japanese style- futons on the floor, but comfortable and clean. Highly recommend. Don’t miss touring the magical cemetery nearby !!

Good location but not quite as advertised
Rooms were clean and pleasant but very cold. The whole monastery was very cold. The decor overall was not as advertised - looked a little run down. Vege dinner was good but needed more hot food. The prayers could have been explained more in English. They provided heaters for the room once requested but other guests did not get any.

Great at Koyasan!
Koya sun was really neat. This place was pretty close to the bus line as well as the thousands of grave stones. They had a small public bath but shared bathroom and shared Western shower.. The burning of the sticks the following morning was really neat to see. They had a couple of training priests that spoke English which made it much easier to communicate. The vegetarian food was quite good... did not miss the meat as the variety of food was very filling. I would go back again!

Great temple to experience true buddhism
I was always knew this was going to be a true Buddhist experience, but was pleasantly surprised by the comfort and added amenities offered by Kumagai-Ji. We went for the traditional room, with tatami mats and sliding paper doors, and were blown away by the size of the room (actually two rooms side by side that we both had) and the beauty of the place and location to the zen garden. There was a table for which you kneel at, but had an under heater for your knees! The room was opposite the garden, and while you are eating dinner, they arrange the bed for you which was like a thick puffy cover, rather than a mattress, but was weirdly comfortable and very warm. The dinner and breakfast were true vegan Buddhist food, and I'm not gonna lie, would definitely take some getting used to. Overall, fantastic though. To experience that kind of food in a place like that, was truly special. We also got to experience the morning ceremony and fire ceremony, which were fantastic and included in the price. Now I haven't mentioned the best part yet, and that was the staff! Our host, a very nice lady that we unfortunately never got the name of, had the best English of anyone we had met in the whole of Japan! She was extremely helpful, showed us around everywhere and had a great sense of humour. The monks that also helped out, although didn't speak much or any English, were always ready to help and very kind. Overall, this is a must stay for koya-san, and can't recommend it enough!
