Cozy, minimalist and "cabin in the woods" vibe which made me feel at home. The staff went above and beyond by providing useful tips and routes around the area.- Convenient location that allowed me to explore the town when it was less crowded.

The capsules can get a bit hot as there are no fans, but opening the door solves the issue.

I recently stayed at Guesthouse Kokuu for a few nights and it was a great experience. The location and price were definitely worth it. The host was incredibly helpful and provided us with informative information about Koya-san upon check-in. The cozy and calm atmosphere of the hotel was perfect for a good night's sleep. The pods and bathrooms were also very clean and well-maintained. a highly recommended stay for budget travelers like myself.

100% Recommend this hotel.

Helpful staff, offering great tips. Well-designed hostel. Excellent chicken curry dinner. Perfect location for exploring Okunoin. Easy walk or quick bus ride to town.

Stylish and clean space with helpful staff. Delicious and affordable breakfast. Convenient location near a beautiful cemetery. Great value for the price.

The bunk area was quite spacious, more so compared to other hostels I've stayed in. the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, giving great suggestions for things to do in the area. the location was perfect, especially for exploring the nearby Okunoin temple and attending the New Year's Eve ceremony. the guesthouse itself had a beautiful design and utilized the space well.

While the bunk area was spacious, the ladder to the top bunks was quite narrow and tricky to navigate, especially for someone like me who isn't great with climbing ladders. It would have been better if they had wider or more easily accessible ladders for the top bunks.

The building is stunningly designed, with clean and spacious rooms. The bed is comfortable and the blankets are gorgeous. The private boxes provide good privacy. The freshly prepared dinner is delicious. The showers are clean and there are bins available in public areas. The peaceful silence at night ensures a good night's sleep. The owners enforce quiet after 10pm, allowing for a calm atmosphere. The guesthouse is conveniently located near a large cemetery and the starting point of the Nyonninmichi trail. The owner, Ryochi, is incredibly helpful and provides great tips. The breakfast is tasty and healthy.

Felt like treated like royalty, no complaint.

Loved the clean, comfortable and cozy accommodations. Paulo was an outstanding host, providing valuable information and insider tips. Great value for budget travelers. Amazing architecture and cool location. Lovely ventilation in the capsules. Friendly and helpful staff. Delicious homemade breakfast. Family-like atmosphere with friendly companions.

Nothing all excellent.

I got great value for my money at Guesthouse Kokuu. The room was clean and comfy, and the minimalist design was really nice. The location was unbeatable, being right next to the famous Okunoin. The staff treated me so well, with a helpful introduction to the area and personalized recommendations.

Breakfast selection could have been more diverse.

We loved the cozy atmosphere and the warm hospitality at this guesthouse. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and informed. The homemade breakfast with delicious buns was a highlight. The guesthouse had good facilities and a surprisingly modern vibe. We also enjoyed the great diversity of guests, both international and Japanese. We will definitely stay here again!

Felt completely happy, nothing was too much trouble.

We had a fantastic stay at this guesthouse! The staff was super friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. Their English skills were the best we had encountered in Japan. The location was perfect, being really close to the Okunoin cemetery and right between the very expensive temples. We loved the minimalist and cozy "cabin in the woods" vibe of the hotel. The cleanliness was impeccable, from the beautiful clean showers to the well-maintained rooms. The breakfast provided was delicious and freshly cooked. this guesthouse provided an amazing experience.

Can't fault the property in any way.

my recent stay in koyasan was incredible, but my experience at this guesthouse surpassed all expectations. the warm staff and friendly atmosphere made it easy to make new friends. the cleanliness, comfortable beds, and delicious homemade breakfast added to the charm. highly recommend staying here!

Noisy street outside.

This was our first time staying at Guesthouse Kokuu, and it won't be our last! the staff were warm and welcoming, providing all the information we needed. We had a wonderful time making new friends from different backgrounds, thanks to the friendly atmosphere. the guesthouse is beautifully designed, perfect for those who appreciate architecture and ceramics. the beds were comfortable, and we loved the originality of the place. the food was also excellent. Thank you to the staff for the warm welcome!

Nothing to dislike! 😊

The staff was incredibly helpful and provided excellent tips on where to go and what to see in the area. The location was convenient, within walking distance of most sites and close to a bus stop. The dinner and breakfast provided were tasty and reasonably priced.

The price was a bit on the expensive side and it would have been appreciated if the capsules had locks.

I had an unforgettable winter stay in this unique guesthouse. The location was excellent, just a minute's walk from the main cemetery and two minutes from the Nyonninmichi trail. The owner, Ryochi, was incredibly helpful and provided fantastic tips for exploring Koyasan. The guesthouse itself was comfortable, clean, and had a modern design. The capsule beds were cozy and I slept well thanks to the high quality bedding. The common lounge area was a great place to relax and socialize with other guests. I highly recommend this guesthouse for a memorable stay in Koyasan.

Spacious capsules and beautiful design make this guesthouse stand out. the owner is incredibly friendly and helpful. Great location for exploring nearby attractions.

The guesthouse can be a bit noisy at night due to its small size. Limited dining options in the immediate area.
