Deeply enriching and contemplative retreat for all who visit 🇯🇵

#japantrip Visiting Mount Koya is a journey into a realm where history, culture, and nature converge harmoniously. This sacred site in Wakayama prefecture stands as a bastion of spiritual tranquility, inviting travelers to immerse themselves in its serene ambiance. Koyasan, the heart of Shingon Buddhism, offers a rich tapestry of experiences: exploring ancient temples, strolling through the serene Okunoin cemetery, and marveling at the beauty of its lush forests. Staying in a temple lodging (shukubo) allows visitors to experience the monastic lifestyle, complete with vegetarian monk's cuisine (shojin ryori) and morning prayers. Mount Koya's unique blend of natural beauty and spiritual heritage provides a deeply enriching and contemplative retreat for all who visit.
