Shukubo prices and overall experience questions

Question

Hi. I'm looking at shukubo stays in Koyasan - targetting this at the beginning of the April. However, the prices I see for 2 people per night are little high - 80k yen and more. Is this normal range for this kind of experience? I was looking at booking.

And more importantly, is this worth staying the night? Looking at prices, I am worried it may be just some basic stay in with public bathrooms. I don't want to be dissapointed. For the clarity, I'm from central Europe and I've visited few things which sounded really great, but were too touristy, not much an experience.
