Kaori K.
Hello. I've been a guide specialized around Koyasan for almost 30 years and always found it a lot...

I will take you on a 5 hour walking tour of sacred and mysterious Koyasan away from the bustling city of Osaka. Koyasan is one of the core spiritual landmarks, with many overtones of Japanese tradition, religion, nature and history. As an experienced guide with a strong attachment to Koyosan, I will help orient you and show you some of the unique places, and sites. Let me show you around and I'll share with you interesting facts and stories that you won't find from any guidebook!
About 2 hours' train and funicular ride with enjoying the beautiful country view takes you the mecca and the religious precincts of Koyasan Shingon Buddhism in the mountain away from the bustling city. You'll see 1. Kongobuji, the head temple of Koyasan Shingon Buddhism which has a marvelous rock garden, beautiful Japanese sliding door paintings and traditional building. 2. Vegetarian Lunch Including local specialty of Goma Tofu (Sesame Jelly) and freeze dried tofu, enjoy special vegetarian cuisine. 3. Okunoin, the largest cemetery and the approach towards Kobo Daishi's mausoleum. It is about 3 to 3. 5 km walk in total but mostly on the ground. 4. Garan, the core temple complex with symbolic great pagoda and many other temple buildings and shrines. You can see the great combination of Buddhism and Shinto, the harmony between human and nature. After spending about 4-5 hours in Koyasan, we'll be back to Namba.
