I am having a hard time trying to figure out recommendations for Koyasan temple stays. A lot of information I'm finding is old or full of conflicts across all sorts of websites, forums, blogs, etc. a consistency is that Ekoin seems to be the most tourist oriented. But they don't have availability most of the last week of May it seems. In some cases it may be too early to make reservations.
The challenge, as you might guess, is figuring out which temple would accommodate walking the area late, as that is one of the big draws in going there. 9pm curfew feels really early, especially since the date of visit is at the end of May (2025) so it does get dark later. Navigating dozens of websites got difficult.
Let me know your experiences and recommendations, so I can make an informed decision. Thank you!
