Embodying centuries of spiritual devotion 🇯🇵
#japantrip
Nestled amidst the serene peaks of Japan's Kii Mountains, Mount Koya emerges as a sacred sanctuary, embodying centuries of spiritual devotion. As the cradle of Shingon Buddhism, it reverberates with the teachings of Kobo Daishi, an esteemed luminary who ignited the flame of enlightenment in 805. Venture into this hallowed realm, and you'll encounter an immersive odyssey through time and faith. A night spent in temple lodging unveils the essence of monkhood, immersing you in the rhythm of devotion. Delight in the simplicity of vegetarian monk's cuisine, a gastronomic ode to purity. And as dawn paints the horizon, join in the ancient symphony of morning prayers, where whispers of transcendence echo through the mist-clad valleys. Mount Koya beckons, inviting pilgrims to tread the path of awakening.
The Buddhist holy place in Japan is the main field of the Japanese master of the Suga. We went to play in the autumn red leaf season. The red leaves on both sides of Omotesando are very beautiful. It is the famous place for the island countries to enjoy the red leaves. The Jingangfeng Temple is built by the master of the Suga. You can visit it in slippers and it is also a world cultural heritage.
It is a very beautiful place. Worth a visit It is unique that reflects the way of life of Japan as well. Can travel easily using public transport It is the most beautiful autumn leaves.
Takano Mountain is very suitable for staying in the local area for one night, but the local accommodation resources are less, the price is higher, and you need to book in advance. You can also take a car from Osaka. It feels a little less a day and a little more than two days.
A mountainous area located les than 100km from Osaka littered with temples is for anyone seeking a little zen and refuge from touristy parts of Japan
A quiet escape from the bustling Osaka & Kyoto with temples and temple homestays
Wakayama Takayama, there are many large and small temples, Japanese-style buildings plus autumn red leaves, good 👍🏻👍🏻
