Mount Koya, located in Wakayama prefecture, is considered as one of the most sacred places in Japan. As the center of Shingon Buddhism, this secluded religious town with large-scale temple complex and mausoleum has developed in mountain area 900m above sea level. It is surrounded by eight mountain peaks which are thought to represent eight petals of a sacred lotus flower. Mount Koya has been attracting visitors for 1200 years with the spirit to accept everyone regardless of their religious faith and background. During this full-day tour, you will enjoy a visit to Koyasan or Mount Koya, an amazing place where history, culture, and nature are all condensed in one spot. This tour can be operated between mid April and mid November starting from Kyoto, and is subject to availability of reserved seats on the bus to/from Mount Koya. In addition to the above, Koyoasan tour from Osaka and Koyasan tour using train instead of bus can also be arranged. Please contact me if you would like to arrange such a tour.
