A deeper connection with Japan’s spiritual heritage 🇯🇵

#japantrip Visiting Mount Koya is a captivating journey into one of Japan’s most enchanting destinations. Nestled in a remote, wooded area of Wakayama Prefecture, south of Kyoto and Osaka, this mountaintop Buddhist community is both serene and spiritually rich. Koyasan, home to over 100 temples and monasteries, offers a unique opportunity to stay overnight in a Buddhist temple lodging, known as shukubo. This experience allows visitors to immerse themselves in the monastic lifestyle, including participating in morning prayers and enjoying vegetarian monk’s cuisine. Despite its increasing popularity, Koyasan retains a magical atmosphere, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking peace and a deeper connection with Japan’s spiritual heritage.
