What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A 4-generation long-established Koyasan cuisine restaurant founded in the early Meiji period. Serves formal banquet cuisine to Kongobuji Temple and Ichijo-in, carrying the prestige of imperial household patronage — yet the Sanko-zen set at 2,640 yen makes authentic shojin ryori (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine) accessible. Koyasan cuisine following the 'Five Methods, Five Flavors, Five Colors' principles. House-made sesame tofu is exceptional. High ratings on TripAdvisor for Koya-cho, with many repeat visitors. Winter hours close at 17:00.

Reviews highlight: 'A miracle that authentic shojin ryori is available at this price', 'The house-made sesame tofu is the best I have ever eaten', 'The reassurance of a 4-generation established restaurant', 'Both the prestige of Kongobuji patronage and an approachable atmosphere', 'Should have made a reservation'. Particularly many comments surprised by the Sanko-zen value. TripAdvisor 65 reviews, 4.0/5.
