"Koya Town," centered around Mt. Koya, is a World Heritage religious city located on a mountain top at an altitude of about 800 meters. As the sacred site of Shingon Esoteric Buddhism opened by Kukai 1,200 years ago, the entire town is enveloped in sacred air, with the sight of 117 dense temples being overwhelming. Deep spiritual experiences that can only be found here, such as staying at a Shukubo, Shojin cuisine, and night worship at Okunoin, fascinate travelers from around the world. The seasonal expressions—cherry blossoms in spring, fresh greenery in summer, autumn colors, and winter wrapped in snow—are also very beautiful, and there is no other place where Japanese history, nature, and faith merge at such a high level. It is a sanctuary for all travelers seeking peace of soul.
