Mount Koya emerges as a sacred sanctuary 🇯🇵

#japantrip Nestled in Wakayama prefecture, south of Osaka, Mount Koya is a profound spiritual retreat and a significant site in Shingon Buddhism. Koyasan offers a unique experience for visitors with its temple lodgings, known as shukubo, where one can immerse in a monk's lifestyle. Staying overnight in one of the fifty temples that provide this service, guests can savor the simplicity of vegetarian monk's cuisine, shojin ryori, and participate in morning prayers. This serene environment, combined with the daily routines of temple life, offers a rare opportunity for reflection and spiritual rejuvenation. Whether you are a pilgrim or a traveler seeking tranquility, Mount Koya's blend of nature and spirituality promises a deeply enriching experience.
