basic information

About fifty of the over one hundred temples at Koyasan offer temple lodging (shukubo) to visiting tourists. Most of them charge about 9,500 Yen per person and night, which includes dinner and breakfast.

The meals served at temple lodgings are shojin ryori, the vegetarian cuisine of monks. At many shukubo, guests have also the opportunity to participate in the morning prayers, which typically start around 6am and last for about 30-45 minutes.
