Dear visitor, if you know the answer to this question, please post it. Thank you! Koyasan lodging 2009/10/29 Koyasan Hello. Could someone who has stayed in one of the Koyasan temples, please give me a recommendation of where to stay? This question was already asked in August, but no one seemed to give any specific answers. My price range is 10000-30000 yen. I am looking for the best option for my money. I am looking for beauty and amenities. Thanks in advance! by Jesen   Shojoshin-in 2009/10/30 Konnichi-wa! My friend and I stayed at the Shojoshin-in back May. We had the Hanare (private residence) to ourselves and it was fantastic! We paid 15,000 yen each and I thought it was really worth it. The good thing about this temple is that it is very close to Oku-no-in and it is great to visit in the evening. by Japanese Frog rate this post as useful Koya 2009/10/30 I agree that Shojoshin-in is great. I have stayed there twice. The food is also very good. See http://www.japaneseguesthouses.com/db/mount_koya/shojoshinin.htm by ryokans rate this post as useful . 2009/10/30 Thanks for your responses. Does a hanare have a private bath/toilet? by Jesen rate this post as useful any others? 2009/11/1 Any other suggestions? Much appreciated! by Jesen rate this post as useful smoking rooms only 2009/11/2 I did some research on Kayosan a year ago, but could not find a non-smoking room. If you require a non-smoking room, make sure you ask. Sometimes they say non-smoking room but you can tell it is a smoking room bec. of the ashtray, smoke smelling bedding etc. My nose bled profusely due to the stinking smoke odor. Japanese cigarettes are stronger than N. American smokes. by ilovejapan (guest) rate this post as useful
