 Description

Boutique Railway Hotel near Koyasan

NIPPONIA HOTEL Koyasan Pilgrimage Railway Operated by KIRINJI is a unique accommodation located in the Koyashita railway station on the Nankai Railway line to Koyasan.  This historic structure was built in 1926.  The original staff rooms have creatively been remodeled into two guest rooms incorporating vintage railway paraphernalia such as baggage racks, handrails, doors, passenger seat, signs, doors, gauges, radio handsets, and straps. Modern touches such as sleek bathrooms blend perfectly to preserve the historic atmosphere and intriguing story.  This was once the terminus station where pilgrims began their pilgrimage trek to Koyasan, the sacred Buddhist mountain monastery.  The Shiide area around Koyashita station was a flourishing post-town during this period.  Walking routes still connect Koyasan with the station such as Makio-michi.  The nearby Kudoyama station boasts a cozy rice ball café, where guests can pick up their complimentary breakfast.  The hotel is self-check-in as no staff are on site.
