This sacred monastic town is the heart of Shingon Buddhism, offering temple stays, morning meditation, and the unforgettable experience of walking through Okunoin Cemetery at dusk. Peaceful, spiritual, and soul-stirring, Koyasan is where time stands still and reflection begins. Whether you’re seeking inner peace or cultural discovery, Koyasan promises a truly transformative escape.
