Located on the Main Street of Koyasan just a few minutes walk from the Kongobuji and Garan temple complexes, this friendly spot has a daily lunch set (a platter of 6-8 small dishes), coffee/tea and dessert for a very reasonable price. Seating is limited, so...my advice is to come early, as lunch service begins around noon. Our set included lentils, curried daikon, homemade bread with spinach pesto,green salad, mushroom tofu quiche, yuzu tofu cheesecake. There is an English menu, a multi lingual staff, and a selection of stupendous local ceramics for sale, as well as local herbal bodycare products. Tip: The cafe is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, but when we walked past on Tuesday,a woman was operating a coffee and vegan baked goods stand in front. We happily bought some focaccia, pumpkin nut tart and chocolate bread...and excellent espresso. She told us she’d be closing the stand at 3PM. There is some bench seating outside the café.More

At the other end of town from our lodgings at Yochi-In, this bohemian cafe was thankfully open and much welcome after our stunningly beautiful and highly memorable early-morning walk amongst the beautiful shrines of this wonderful hill-top town. The team behind the counter were charming...and the whole place was very engaging. The coffee was good if not great and the chocolate cake made an agreeable substitute for a unhealthy English fry-up.More

Wonderful atmosphere. Healthy foods. Excellent service. Unique pottery. Great coffee & cake menu. One of the rare establishments catering to the vegan/vegetarian lifestyle.

After 3 weeks in Japan in was truly great to find somewhere offering something a little different. The menu is simple but delicious, we both ate everything, lots of great flavours and plenty of it. Being greedy we also opted to try the brownie for...pudding, we were not disappointed it was also outstanding and served with a really good cup of coffee. It's unlikely, but should I find myself in Koyasan again I will 100% be back. We sat at a large round table meaning we were joined by a couple of others, one local lady struck up conversation which is always nice and makes you feel even more welcome.More

Amazing tasty lunch (we tried one vegan and one vegetarian) for 1200 yens. The food was delicious and the set menu includes a desert and a beverage. Super recommended!

I loved the simplicity and tastiness of the food, the ceramics and artwork. The people who ran the place were really balanced, working only during the day and having days off after the weekend. They also offered a fixed menu vegan or vegetarian lunch, with...a choice of two delicious deserts. This means less waste and less work and I think this is great - sustainable hospitality! They even put a candle in my dessert for my birthday!More

I stopped by Bon On Shya after visiting Okunoin Cemetery - I needed a quick and good lunch, and that's what I got! The menu is limited but everything I ordered was delicious. Nice mix of French and Japanese cuisines with various small portions of...different foods making up a complete meal. The chocolate cake was great.More

I went here twice during my two days at Koyasan. The first time for lunch and the second for breakfast (if cake and cocoa counts as breakfast). The lunch special was fantastic. It was basically a large plate with 7 or so different dishes on...it. A couple of salads, a couple of stir-fried things, a quiche, and some bread with pesto on it. I was surprised at how even the simplest thing could tase so good (that pesto! drool). I liked everything on the plate and was actually sad to finish it and move on to cake (not my normal reaction to cake, I assure you). Both of the flavors of cake were quite good - The chocolate cake has a nice texture and isn't overly sweet. The tofu cheesecake is also not that sweet, but tasty and a fun way to eat tofu :) If you are drinking coffee I would recommend the chocolate cake, otherwise I would advise you go for the cheesecake (I had mine with their cocoa, which was an excellent combo). The prices were really good for the area (I thought). I've put this place on a list of "Places I must return to when I go back to Koyasan". I wish I had stayed in Koyasan longer just so I could have eaten lunch their again! One thing to note is that the place is super tiny and fairly popular. Go early for lunch, or be prepared to wait. I'd say its worth it, but it might depend on how hungry you are.More

Loved it! Great food, delicious cake and amazing service. The food was vegetarian and we were happy to hav some salad after a long time in Japan

Dropped in for a morning coffee and delighted in receiving a real percolated coffee and divine Berry Tofu Cheesecake to die for!

There's just something about this place and the best word to describe is good aura! We just got a coffee here but I would have loved to stay for lunch as well. Recommended to stop by even if you're not hungry or thirsty, at least...take a look at their cure gallery!More
