Mount Koya

Japan’s centre of Shingdon Buddhism, a visit to Mount Koya offers the chance to stay overnight in a shukubu, an ancient Buddhist temple where the monks still live and pray. Other attractions include the main Shingdon monastery, Kongobuji Temple, a walk through the misty atmospheric cemetery of Okunoin and a chance to explore the excellent network of hiking trails across the mountain.
