Join a 4-hour guided tour of Koyasan, one of Japan’s most sacred mountain temple towns and a major center of Shingon Buddhism. Begin at Okuno-in, a quiet sanctuary lined with ancient cedar trees and moss-covered memorials, where Kobo Daishi is believed to remain in eternal meditation. Next, visit Kongobuji Temple, the head temple of Koyasan, and learn about its role in governing the sacred mountain. Admire its elegant architecture, painted rooms, and traditional spaces once used to welcome important visitors. Finally, explore the Danjo Garan area, the spiritual heart of Koyasan, home to symbolic pagodas and halls that reflect the deep Buddhist philosophy still alive here today.
