One-day tour to Koyasan, a sacred Buddhist site in Japan, a World Cultural Heritage Site

On the morning of December 2nd, take the Nankai Railway Koyasan Line Express from Osaka Tenkachaya and arrive at Gokurakubashi Station for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, then take the cable car up the mountain. It is recommended to purchase a Koyasan bus 🚌 one-day ticket for sightseeing. There are over 100 temples and shrines on the mountain ⛩️! There are three main places worth seeing The first stop is Kongobuji Temple, which has a very solemn and ancient atmosphere. The painting on the screen in the temple describes the experience of Master Hongfa Kukai in seeking Buddhist scriptures in the Tang Dynasty. Panlongting has a profound artistic conception and is said to be the largest dry landscape in Japan! After visiting Kongobuji Temple, it was lunch time. Maybe it was Monday so some shops on the street were closed, so we found a restaurant that served Shojin cuisine, which is vegetarian, which was quite appropriate. I used the discount coupon that came with the one-day bus ticket. Take the bus to Okunoin. To get to Okunoin, you have to pass a cemetery where it is said that many famous people in Japanese history are located. I was timid, so after walking for a while I turned back and went to the altar monastery instead. The red ones are the main pagoda, the ancient Golden Hall, the East Pagoda and the West Pagoda, which are solemn and majestic. Kongobuji Temple, Koyasan, Danjo Temple
