2.5 hour bus ride to Mount Koyasan World Heritage
We walk the paths through tall Japanese cedar trees with views of moss covered stones.
“The sacred mountain of Koyasan, located in beautiful forested hills 50km south of Osaka in Wakayama Prefecture, is a major pilgrimage site for followers of the Shingon sect of Buddhism. It is more than 800m above sea level. Founded in the 9th century by Kobo Daishi and is a UNESCO World Heritage site.” (excerpt from Japan Travel).
Thank you to the New-Osaka RC for hosting us on the Mt. Koyasan day trip.

It looks like the weather was cold? I think I would like to go to this temple and have green tea with a monk. Do you think that could also be added to our itinerary?:) Things are getting pretty full on this imaginary trip!
