🇯🇵 [Wakayama] Mount Koya! Let's start from the impressive Daimon Gate ^ ^! Located at the western end of Kongobu-ji Temple, the head temple of the Koyasan Shingon sect, this is the main gate of Mount Koya, which serves as the main entrance to Koya ^ ^ If you go up the main approach of the town stone road that continues from Jison-in Temple in Kudoyama Town, you will enter the mountain from here. The powerful 4.8m tall Kongorikishi statues at both legs of the Daimon Gate are said to have been made by the sculptor Yasuyoshi for the Agyo statue and by Hokyo Uncho for the Unyo statue. After completing the pilgrimage to the 88 temples of Shikoku, we head to Mount Koya ^ ^ Since the altitude is high, we recommend wearing warm clothes and comfortable sneakers. #0 yen trip January 2025
