Beautiful

Paola is the owner of this property and makes sure that you have everything you need for your stay, she thinks of things that you haven’t even thought of! Great advice on what to do, restaurants etc and took me to the morning Buddhist prayers. And breakfast is amazing 🤩.

“This space, experience, and host is one of a kind in the best possible way.”

“Koyasan a visit I shall never forget”

Everything, amazing place,wonderful host

“It was one of the most excellent place stay in Japan”

Excellent owner & nice interior & furniture

“A mixed experience.”

Liked the use of the living room; the bedroom was rather small and there was nowhere to sit. There was no specific breakfast menu, but the host did ask about our dietary requirements. She also provided ginger tea to help with my sore throat and cough. Breakfast dishes served over 2 days were creative and interesting. There were elements of surprise. Food and drinks were served in beautiful ceramic and porcelain dishes. The host proudly declared they are of the best quality.

Fantastic stay! The host was accommodating when I arrived late, provided a great breakfast, and offered excellent local tips. Thoughtful attention to detail made the experience even better. I slept really well in the warm comfy bed. Highly recommend!

“Great expericne.”

The host Paula is a wonderful woman who is friendly and helpful all the ways. The vibe of the hut is so peaceful and a perfect match of that of Koyashan. I have previously tried temple stay before. To me, it was even better to stay in Koyasan Space.

“This was a wonderful experience. Paola was an exceptional in her kindness, generosity, local knowle”

Everything. Paola was an exceptional in her kindness, generosity, local knowledge and creating delicious healthy breakfasts. I Felt so very comfortable and cared for. Even a temporary loan of glasses as I had lost mine. In a Great location. I would love to have stayed longer in this beautiful place.

“Beautiful experience and wonderful host full of knowledge and recommendations about Japan”

Wonderful decoration, layout and choie of furniture. Centrally located in Koyasan, walking distance to everything Very spatious and tasteful.

“Lovely Koyasan Space”

Paola is incredibly kind and attentive. Every detail in her Japanese-style guesthouse has been carefully chosen. She has put so much thought into selecting each piece, and each has its own story. Throughout my stay, I felt a sense of peace and love. ........ Thank you so much, Paola. I’m so happy to have met you and to have stayed at Koyasan Space. I look forward to seeing you again!

“Pure relaxation and zen, highly recommend it was an unforgettable stay!”

The breakfast was amazing, we stayed for 3 nights and every morning it was something different, nutritious and delicious! Staying with Paulo was amazing, she really goes above and beyond to make sure you feel welcome and have everything you need. The space itself is traditional Japanese and was beautiful to relax in, highly recommend! Koyasan is a very special place, if I was to ever return I would stay again at koyasan space as it fitted the vibe of the whole village.

“Relaxing, great food, nice host.”

The apartment is a beautifully renovated Japanese house, decorated in a tasteful way, including several rooms for the guests to use, and a lovely garden. Everything was super clean. The hostess was extremely thoughtful and very keen to meet our every need. We were offered thoughtfully constructed dishes for breakfast, with each ingredient being of the highest quality.

“A quiet stay in a typical Japanese house that has been a labour of love by the host. Unique!”

The location was optimal as it is close to three out of 4 of the UNESCO World Heritage sites. The home made breakfast was a delight (bonus if the weather allows you to have it in the lovely garden). The host is very nice and brings a lot of warmth to the experience (vs hotels).

The spotty wifi connection was the only negative.

I emergency booked this place at the last minute as my hiking plans were interrupted by a bear. Within 10 mins of booking I arrived and was immediately greeted with open arms by Paola. Paola is an incredible host and an amazing person who went above and beyond to provide unbelievable food, inside information on the unmissable parts of Koyasan (including fire ceremonies), an intracate and beautifully designed home, and a cappuchino that far surpassed the expectations of even a Melbournian. Staying at Koyasan Space, though not originally part of my travel plans, was the highlight of my trip and will be something I remember forever. I was very lucky to have encountered that bear in the forest, as it lead me to this amazing experience. Thank you very much Paola.

“Lovely place to stay In Koyasan!”

Beautifully decorated house, loved the linen sheets and areas to relax in. I liked the homemade breakfast too. The host was very welcoming and helpful.

Koyasan Space was one the highlights of my trip to Japan. It’s a beautiful place, in an ideal location and the host was very welcoming and warm. I felt quite at home and especially appreciated the attention to detail. I would stay here again and highly recommend to others looking to visit Koyasan.

Wonderful place, central location, food made with love. I spent three unforgettable days here, I will come again,

“Incredible place to stay. Warm and welcoming host, excellent attention to detail.”

Impeccably clean, spacious and fully equipped
