Experience the mystical autumn at Okunoin Temple on Mount Koya, enveloped in autumn leaves

In autumn, Okunoin at Mount Koya is a special place where the autumn leaves create a fantastical landscape. The old trees and moss-covered stone towers along the approach are colored in vibrant reds and oranges, and the beauty of autumn blends into the solemn air. If you visit in the quiet of the morning, you will feel an even more mystical atmosphere in the cool air. Once you cross the Gobyō Bridge, the sacred area will clear your mind and give you time to face nature. Okunoin, where the beauty of the autumn leaves and the depth of history blend together, is also extremely photogenic! You will discover something new every time you visit, and you are sure to have a special time that is unique to autumn. #domestictraveltrip #MountKoya #autumnleaves #Okunoin

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
