One of Japan's three great spiritual places – Mount Koya

There are three famous sacred sites in Japan, and Koyasan in Wakayama Prefecture is the one with the most convenient transportation. Take the train from Nankai Railway Namba Station to Gokurakubashi, transfer to the cable car to Koyasan Station, and then take the bus to Kongobuji Temple, Okunoin Temple and other areas. Because "Oku-no-in" is far from the station, the recommended order of visiting is to go to "Oku-no-in" first and then go to "Kongobuji" on the return trip. Although it is quite far, the bus ride only takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Get off at "Oku-no-in-mae", where there are roads and restaurants next to it, but as you walk into "Oku-no-in" along the road, it becomes very quiet and solemn, because there are many tombstones here, and many towering cedar trees, some of which are more than 600 years old. In addition, there are tombs of Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi family among the tombstones. Although Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi are not actually buried here, it is also worth a visit. At the bottom of "Oku-no-in" is the Kobo Daishi Shrine, but taking photos there is prohibited. It took about two and a half hours to walk through "Oku-no-in" slowly, and then you can take the bus back to "Senju-in Bridge" or "Kongobuji-mae" to visit another area of ​​Koyasan. Kongobuji Temple is beautifully built and has a peaceful atmosphere, but it feels different from Oku-no-in Temple in that it feels like a Japanese garden. To visit the interior of Kongobuji Temple, you need to buy an additional ticket. There are also places for visitors to rest and drink tea in the temple. In addition, there are many temples on Koyasan that are open to tourists for accommodation, and you can also participate in the temple's morning classes, which is also a very special experience. The white snow in winter and the fact that it is an important religious site make it a very cleansing place for the soul. Some people may be a little taboo about cemeteries, but in fact, Koyasan is also a very popular tourist destination for Japanese people. Whether or not you have visited a sacred site before, I recommend visiting Koyasan and feeling the atmosphere there. #日本景点 #国外旅游 #日本 #和歌山県 #高野山 #聖場 #聖宮聖 #楊靈心 #japan
