AboutKokuuについて

Koyasan is historically regarded as one of the most sacred mountains in Japan.
In particular, it is a holy ground representing the Shingon sect of esoteric Buddhism, with a history dating back twelve hundred years.
Rich in history and culture, Koyasan is a very spiritual place for both Buddhists and non-Buddhists.
It is a very beautiful place, and is worth visiting whilst traveling in Japan.

We are proud to have opened the first guesthouse in Koyasan,
allowing travelers and pilgrims from all over the world to visit this beautiful place at an affordable price.
An oasis of simple comfort, we created Koyasan Guesthouse Kokuu in a modern style that stays true to the essence of this sacred mountain.
We will be happy to recommend you the best places in Koyasan.
It is our goal to make your stay a most memorable and enjoyable experience.
We look forward to having you stay at our guesthouse in Koyasan.

Koyasan Guesthouse is located in the east side of Koyasan town, close to the most sacred site in Koyasan (Okunoin).Okunoin is also the location of the mausoleum for Kobo Daishi, where he is believed to be in eternal meditation since March 21,835.
Koyasan is a rather compact town, so it is easy to get around town by foot. However, there is also a city bus system that you may choose to use.

By Train

Travel Summary

Osaka Namba station – (train) – Gokurakubashi station – (cable car) – Koyasan station – (bus) – Okunoin-mae bus stop – (foot) – Koyasan Guesthouse

First step(Osaka Namba Staion ‒ Gokurakubashi Station)

［By train: 90 minutes］
Koyasan is most easily reached from Namba Station in Osaka. From Namba Station, take the Nankai Koya Line to Gokurakubashi Station. There are 2 types of train you can choose to take from Namba Station. Both a limited express service (about 80 minutes, JPY 1,990) and a regular express train service (about 100 minutes, JPY 1,230) are available. While the limited express trains are slightly more expensive, they will secure you a reserved, front-facing seat. This will be more comfortable than the standard trains and will allow you a better opportunity to enjoy the scenery. Few limited express trains run each day, and so you may need to plan ahead. In contrast, the regular express trains depart frequently (three times an hour). Whichever type of train you take from Namba Station, you will eventually reach Gokurakubashi Station.

Second step(Gokurakubashi Station ‒ Koyasan Station)

［By Cablecar: 5 minutes］
From Gokurakubashi Station, you will need to transfer to a cable car, which will take you up a steep slope (don't miss the scenery!) to Koyasan Station.

Third step(Koyasan station – Okunoin-mae bus stop)

［By bus : 20 minutes］
Koyasan Station is located a fair way from Koya town center, and so you will need to take the Nankai Rinkan Bus to get to our guesthouse. The Nankai Rinkan Bus Terminal is just in front of the Koyasan Station.

You may need to walk 20min from the bus stop.
Please be aware that the bus service is available until 20:52.
To avoid your inconvenience, we strongly recommend you to check in by 19:00.

Fourth step(Okunoin-mae bus stop to Koyasan Guesthouse)

［By foot: 3 minutes］
