A testament to a rich spiritual heritage 🇯🇵

#japantrip Visiting Mount Koya offers a profound connection to one of Japan's most sacred sites, established over 1200 years ago by the revered monk Kobo Daishi (Kukai). Chosen as the site for his Esoteric Buddhist dojo, Mount Koya stands as a testament to a rich spiritual heritage. Visitors can immerse themselves in the essence of Japanese Buddhism through a variety of activities, such as staying in temple lodgings (shukubo), participating in morning prayers, and exploring ancient temples and the Okunoin cemetery. These experiences provide invaluable insights into the traditions and practices of Shingon Buddhism, allowing travelers to appreciate the deep spiritual significance and historical legacy of this revered mountaintop sanctuary.
