We enjoyed our stay at the temple. We booked a superior room with the futon which I now know means sleeping on the floor. I would recommend getting a bed for those with aches and pains because it’s very uncomfortable on the floor - you will not get good sleep. The temple itself is very beautiful. The service is the morning was fun and I am glad we participated. We did the cemetery walk ourselves - a tour was not offered to us which it was apparently offered to other guests. The cemetery is stunning and we really enjoyed it at day and night. The food was meh…. Luckily there is a cafe across the street. Overall I recommend for one night

Koyasan was the highlight of our Japan experience. The place we got for overnight temple stay at Ekoin temple was beautiful. Dinner was large and amazing (I am not a vegetarian but the food was delicious). Our room was a junior suite with our own bath and garden. I would not have it any other way. I wish I stayed longer than one night.
Remember that this is a stay at a temple. Although one gets very nice experience, I would urge any tourists to not treat this as some hotel. The people serving you are Buddhists monks or monks in training. As a Buddhist (from a different country), we would never have monks serving us food (other way around). I have seen people leave some not so kind comments and if that is something you are inclined to do, consider not doing temple stay and check yourself into an actual hotel.

A truly memorable one-night stay in a traditional Buddhist temple. We stayed in a beautiful family room overlooking the garden, which added to the peaceful and authentic atmosphere of the experience.
Dinner and breakfast consisted of shojin ryori, traditional Buddhist vegetarian cuisine, and were served in our room. This was a wonderful experience and one of the highlights of our stay.
We took part in meditation, the morning ceremony, and the fire ritual, which gave us a unique insight into life at the temple. We also enjoyed the shared public bath on site.
The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and spoke excellent English, which made everything easy and comfortable. Staying at Eko-in was a truly special experience and one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Koyasan.
