The Railway Hotel Koyasan Pilgrimage Railway - Station Inn - Self Check-in Only

Very authentic place, unique experience to live at train station with good comfort level. Everything in the apartment was exactly as advertised in Booking.com. Excellent bathroom that exceeded all our expectation. It is like a small sauna place.

It was expected, but there is no any grocery shop at this station. Just keep this in mind. Although everything was as advertised, I believe that it is overpriced.

Amazing place

Such an amazing atmosphere to stay in a train station. I loved all the details in the room, the bed and bathroom where perfect and the icing on the cake where complementary the breakfast ticket!

It was right in the station very cute and quiet, everything you needed. The train tickets to the next station and breakfast very much appreciated. The ladies at the Station cafe were charming and friendly the food delicious!

There are no shops or restaurants in the town so you need to take care of eating or bringing supplies with this in mind - not a critique just something travellers need to know

This is by far the best and most fun stay of our entire vacation! You arrive by train, hop off, check out, walk 5 meters and you open the door to your room. I mean, it doesn't get any better than this! The room is super spacious, it had the best beds we've had, a really nice Japanese toilet, a lovely bathroom with a nice tub, and very decent wifi as well. But the setting and vibe itself is definitely it's best feature. You'd think that the trains coming in at the train station would be loud and something that'll keep you up at night. But this wasn't the case at all. I wouldn't say it's well isolated per se but the trains just aren't that loud so you can definitely have a good night's rest. And I just really loved the sounds of trains coming in and leaving. Another cool thing is that the room supplies you with breakfast coupons and train tickets to go to the next station (Kudoyama) which takes just a few minutes. At Kudoyama station there's this small kiosk which makes amazing onigiri (rice balls) and miso soup (a pelgrims snack). With the coupon you can get a free breakfast every day which is definitely something we can recommend! In Kudoyama you have some convenience stores and restaurants so if you'd like to have diner or go to a convenience store, Kudoyama is your best option. Taking the train to Kudoyama and walking back to Koyashita is a very lovely walk and takes you maybe 50 minutes tops (some roads with little cover from cars though). Another recommendation is visiting Koyasan of course! The birthplace of buddhism in Japan. An amazing area with a lot of temples and a huge gorgeous cemetery. If you can, be sure to attend the Jukai ceremony at one of the temples. An unforgettable experience! You can easily spent an entire day (or even two) in Koyasan. You take a train, cable car and bus to reach this area but all very easy and straight forward to travel with.

Nothing!

Really well converted with modern comforts, and all the railway memorabilia were fantastic

15minutes drive to shops and restaurants

The location of our room is very good for us, getting to Koyasan and biking the beautiful Nyu River Gorge. The sound of the train did not bother us at all. One thing you have to know when booking this hotel is there are no restaurants or grocery stores around. We picked up our foods each day before we get back to our room which is no problem at all.

An unique experience close to Koyasan without the crowds and expense.....if you want to extend your time in Koyasan but not pay for a temple room, this is a great option

i feel so fun with my stay ; location at train station, room code, ticket to go to another station to find a nice place, local store with local food ....to discover something beyond expectation.
