I visited Kongobu-ji Temple in Koyasan!

I visited Kongobu-ji Temple in Mount Koya in Wakayama Prefecture! We were lucky to have clear skies! The whole of Koyacho has a historic streetscape and it felt like I was in another world! What's interesting about Kongobu-ji Temple are the corporate graves! The graves of famous companies are unique and you'll never get bored looking around! I started looking around in the morning, and even in the evening it was such a wonderful place that I still couldn't get enough of it!

Kongobu-ji Okuno-in

On our recent trip to Japan we visited a number of busy cities and we wanted to have a couple of days out and Mount Koya was a great choice. It took us a couple of hours and a number of train rides to get there but it was absolutely worth it. A very tranquil little town Koyasan was set among centuries old pine forests and the quiet Buddhist temples and serene setting was just what we needed to take a break from the neon lights. All the notable sights are within walking distance and the air is so clear you would be silly not to take leisurely strolls around the parks and the beautiful Okunoin cemetery. A tourist office in the heart of town can provide you more information on the sights and important events. This is one of the most spiritual places in Japan. Not yet part of the standard tourist trip in Japan but it’s worth a visit. I suggest to sleep in a temple to really feel the atmosphere of the place. #givethanks #givethanks
