Very good experience to learn shingo buddhism intorduced by kobo daishi. 1000 yen to enter and see more sights but you can't take pictures in the inside, only the outer area like the rocks and greenery.

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
