Koyasan

One of the best places to admire the autumn colors in Wakayama Prefecture is in the mountains of Koyasan. The best time to visit this place is late October until early November. Expect a crowd of tourist on this place so better go early to enjoy the experience. You can reach Koyasan from Gobo, Wakayama for about 1.5Hrs by car. Be ready with a cold weather since this place is situated in a mountain. More than the different colors of autumn leaves, you can enjoy the huge temples. It is said to be the home of 100 buddhist temples. #japanautumn

Mount Koyasan is a magical place, high in the mountains about 2 hours by train from Osaka. It is the “headquarters” of Shinto Buddhism, which gives it a very peaceful atmosphere. You can sleep in a local temple and enjoy a vegetarian meal, see the photo for a feel of how many different dishes. Tip: after dinner take a walk through town, even more serene and in my opinion an unforgettable experience.

Meet your peaceful mind at Koya san or mount Koya at Wakayama perfectire, Osaka,Japan. 1,200 years ago at this place where the monk Kugai had invited Vajarayana Buddhism to Japan. He had established many buddhist temple in this mountain and from now on people had followed his pilgrimage path that took at least 1 month to finish by foot. Mount Koya is one of the sacrifice place because monk Kugai taught Buddhism and meditated until the end of his life here. People and monks came to pay homage to his tomb and chant Prajya Paramita in front of his place. #Japan #Kugai #pilgrimage #Osaka #buddhism

Kongobuji Temple, is one of the must-see places in Mount Koya. ❤Recommended reasons: 🌟Kukai founded the Shingon sect in Mount Koya, and Kongobuji Temple is the head temple of the Shingon sect and the place where Master Kukai lectured. 🌟Unlike the common temples full of gods and Buddhas, there are no Buddha statues in the few halls open to the public in Kongobuji Temple, but the layered screens in several rooms are impressive. 🌟These paintings by the monk Kano Tan'yu, whether they are detailed flowers and birds or freehand landscapes, cherry blossoms and peonies in spring, stream maple leaves in autumn, are full of magic that lights up people's hearts in an instant. 🗾Banryutei ✅Passing through the corridor, you will pass a beautiful courtyard. On the ground of the courtyard, like the dry landscape of Renjo-in, a large 'A' is written. ✅The Shingon sect belongs to the Eastern Esoteric Buddhism, and its doctrinal point is that all phenomena in the universe return to 'A'. ✅'A' is the absolute entity of all dharmas, neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor clean, neither increasing nor decreasing. ✅Looking at the 'A' character and contemplating the heart is the contemplation of the Bodhi mind in the Shingon sect. 🙏Highlights: 🌟At the end of the building is the kitchen operation room of the temple, etc. 🌟From the outside to the inside, all are open for people to visit, conveying the scene of Kukai's teaching and living here. 🚌Transportation: Take the Nankai Rinkan bus from Nankai Koyasan Station and get off at 'Kongobuji-mae' ⏰Opening hours 8:30-17:00 💰Ticket price 500JPY

Embarking on my journey to Koyasan, Japan, I discovered an extraordinary beauty that left me spellbound. The landscape, blanketed in pristine snow during my visit, transformed Koyasan into a winter wonderland. The iconic temples, adorned with delicate snowflakes, exuded a serene charm that was truly marvelous. As I meandered through the enchanting cedar-lined paths, the ancient spirituality of the place enveloped me. The snowfall enhanced the ethereal atmosphere, making my experience nothing short of amazing. In the quietude of Okunoin Cemetery, adorned with countless moss-covered tombstones, a sense of reverence and history resonated. Koyasan's blend of nature and spirituality painted an unforgettable tableau, etching its beauty deep into my memory as one of the most mesmerizing places I have ever encountered. #Temples #Sacred site #Mountain

日本高野山之旅是一段寧靜而又神聖的旅程。最吸引我的景點是漫步於20萬座墓地之間，這感覺並不陰森可怕，反而給人一種平和的感覺。我們還參觀了日本最大的石庭園 - 蟠龍庭。 高野山之旅讓我感受到寧靜和平和的氛圍。對於渴望體驗日本佛教文化深度並尋求寧靜的人來說，我強烈推薦這個美麗而神聖的地方。 我們住大阪酒店，一天內是可完成來回行程，最後可搭乘晚班火車返回大阪。 #高野山 #mountkoya #蟠龍庭 #rockgarden #日本 #japan #banryutei

My dream country to live in! A very beautiful and very clean place! 🇯🇵🖤🎌🖤⛩️🖤 #bucketlistreboot #japan #日本

Koyasan is the ancestral home of the Japanese Shingon, and the Aoyama Academy on the mountain is said to be the retreat of the founder of the True Words. Master Kong Hai also created hiragana and katakana, the father of Japanese culture, and the position of Takanoyama in Japan can be imagined. There are more than 100 monasteries within 6 square kilometers of the temple area, half of which can provide accommodation and food, as well as a variety of experience activities. For the courtyard art, Buddhist culture lovers are rare destinations, with many Japanese national treasures, Japan's largest dry gardens, and the name of cherry blossoms and red leaves. From Osaka, Nara can take the Nankai Electric Railway, or you can walk through the Kumano Trail.
