Yadori Onsen Iyashinoyu

We stayed here as a base for Koyasan, as we couldn’t get accommodation for five up on the mountain. We had a hire car. The road from Koyasan down here is extremely narrow and windy - it will take you half an hour, and you will want to be a confident driver on narrow mountain roads. We lived in fear that we would meet an oncoming vehicle in one of the insanely narrow stretches, but never did, thankfully. They have a restaurant on site which we recommend you use - there is nowhere else to eat within a large distance, and almost all the restaurants in Koyasan are closed in the evening. We had breakfast there which was fantastic - though a little too traditionally Japanese for our fussy teenage son’s taste. The accommodation is in a lovely quiet valley - it’s a beautiful spot. Our cabin was spacious and had good cooking facilities (though we didn’t use them). The receptionist spoke enough English to get us booked in without recourse to Google Translate. There was no wifi in our cabin - but amazingly enough there was phone reception, despite being in a deep valley in the middle of nowhere. There may be Wifi in reception but we didn’t explore this. We used the private onsen in our cabin - basically a very large stone bath that you fill from hot and cold taps to whatever temperature you want. Very pleasant. The hotel seems to offer a shuttle service to Koyasan - we didn’t use it but overheard other guests who had used it.

There was an Onsen tax we needed to pay at reception - though it was only a few hundred yen.

Amazing value, great onsen and facilities, delicious casual dining (with unforgettable yuzu dressing!!!)

The service was quick, friendly and helpful. The breakfast was tasty and filling. The cottage was clean and well kept.

The location was difficult to get to with poor weather.

Onsen

None

It was very spacious and comes with a private Onsen. Even though it is a bit off the path the location and surrounding nature are beautiful. The breakfast was very delicious and with many local ingredients.

Beautiful location. Very friendly staff. Good restaurant. Shuttle service from and to Mt. Koya. Perfect.
