It was wonderful place to stay. 1. Food was very good and served on beautifully chosen plates. Very diverse and interesting choice of dishes. For second day we had another set of food. Especially good was special sake (you will need to order it additionally), it was very tasty and easy to drink. In nearby shop there is also local mochi with mugwort - they was very good and worth to try at least once. 2. Room was very spacious with intricate design made from local wood and bathtub on balcony felt as it was our personal open air onsen really, with view on the forest and river. Also yukata and haori was included and it was perfect way to experience food, make some photos and enjoy our stay. It goes without saying that room was very clean and beds was very comfortable. 3. Place itself is very quiet and nice. Village is very near to Dorogawa onsen village but much calmer and not crowded by tourists. It also has great trail for hiking which goes trough beautiful falls to Dorogawa. There are 2 suspension bridges there with great view on river. At night there are plenty of stars and you can see wild deers. 4. Everyone was really hospitable, helpful and we had no trouble without knowing any Japanese.

What can I say about this magical mountain place that paints the right picture? It is very difficult to explain and this wasn't even during sakura season... First of all, I definitely had the best room by luck and an incredible view of the forest. This meant I was meeting an animal every day, just through my window. I saw a deer mum and her baby, briefly a tanuki and twice I saw a musasabi. Even if you don't see them, you will definitely hear the musasabi! As for the place itself, the room is very carefully decorated and well kept as is the whole property. I could've genuinely stayed inside the whole time, but the nature is a must. There are incredibly tall trees and a very charming street with restaurants and shops as well as the temple and more, but you need to walk uphill to it if you don't have a car. The host may be able to drive you as he is very welcoming and I must not forget to mention, the amazing food! Be ready to eat a lot and experience a variety of impressive flavours. Bonus: you can enjoy a calm garden if you don't want to go on adventures and there is a cute sleepy shiba inu mascot called Tetsu. I genuinely can't emphasise enough how much I enjoyed this place and area. It was a treat for myself, but it truly surprised me. Thank you to the whole team for making it so comfortable, this was especially appreciated as a solo traveller. Can't wait to be back, maybe with sakura blooming :)

This is the best place I have ever stayed. I can't recommend it enough. Staff are super helpful, onsen amazing with a view, and big room! The food is first class. It's is like a Michelin restaurant and a really amazing hotel at once. If you ever get the opportunity, I would recommend yukawaya to anyone. Will definently tell friends and family back home. Perhaps they will go to Japan to experience Yoshino and Yukawaya

This is a fabulous old temple building with traditional rooms, kind, considerate hosts, beautifully prepared food that catered for vegetarians for 3 days in beautiful surroundings. Half board is not cheap but we don’t begrudge a penny. Such lovely people.

Everyone there was wonderful, willing to help even with the language barrier. The dinner and breakfast were delicious (if you stay more than one night, note that you'll eat the same dinner and breakfast) The room and all the temple was super clean and calm. It was a great place to stay! I really love the ceremonies that I could witness, meditation in the evening, morning ceremony and goma ceremony (fire ceremony). The one thing I was surprised by is that the showers are "Onsen Showers" so it's in a commun room, with little stools where you can clean yourself before entering the bath. Not a negative point, just something I wasn't expecting. Thanks to all the staff there for a wonderful stay!

We are over the moon to see the Buddha relic at this temple! The staff is very kind and tried to introduce Buddhism in English! After the morning chanting, we had a temple tour and saw the Buddha relic 💯

The location is around 1km from the final stamp of Koya Nanakuchi route. Minshuku lady boss is kind enough to fetch me from the stamp site to minshuku and send me to the onsen bath nearby too. Good steamboat dinner and traditional Japanese breakfast. It is a minshuku located sideway of road and no shop nearby. So please stock up some groceries and order the dinner and breakfast here. A vending machine is available.

Very unique and peaceful, with beautiful gardens and architecture. The food is traditional with interesting and unusual flavours; but we really liked it. A great experience and Koyosan is stunning.
