Koyasan is a deeply spiritual place that offers a unique opportunity to experience Japanese Buddhist culture and history. Its tranquil environment, rich heritage, and the chance to engage in religious practices make it a profound destination for both pilgrims and tourists seeking peace and enlightenment. Whether you're interested in exploring historic temples, participating in monastic life, or simply enjoying the serene natural beauty, Koyasan provides a deeply enriching experience.

Koyasan has a longer history than Kyoto and I believe you will feel the spiritually beaty of Jpan here. ( Actually, I got goosebumps）
