A religious city steeped in age-old traditions 🇯🇵

#japantrip Mount Koya, a religious city steeped in age-old traditions, is arguably Japan's most mystical sacred mountain. This enchanting destination cannot be merely described; it must be experienced. Koyasan, with its hostel temples and necropolis forest, offers an invitation to spirituality and reflection. Historically secluded, this sacred enclave has preserved its profound atmosphere, making it a unique retreat for those seeking solace and insight. Visitors can stay in temple lodgings (shukubo), partake in morning prayers, and explore the serene, wooded cemetery of Okunoin. The timeless traditions and serene environment of Mount Koya provide a deeply enriching experience, blending spirituality, history, and nature in a way that touches the soul.
