Mount Koya
Mount Koya is the spiritual home of Shingon Buddhism, a sect founded more than 1,200 years ago by one of Japan’s most important religious figures, Kobo Daishi. The sect’s headquarters, Kongobu-ji Head Temple, is set on the forest-covered mountaintop of Mount Koya. Over 100 other temples have been established around Mount Koya, many of which offer visitors the chance to experience a typical monk’s lifestyle during an overnight stay.
