Koyasan | 高野山: Hiking Along An Ancient Pilgrimage Trail

In the countryside of Wakayama lies Koyasan, a sacred mountain that is the center of Shingon Buddhism. It was founded by Kobo Daishi in the 800s, and made Koyasan its central training ground. In this temple town, you can experience monastic life by staying at a temple. There are many pilgrimage trails leading up to Mt. Koya. We took the Choishi-Michi Pilgrimage Trail which you can start from either Kudoyama Station (7-10 hours), Kamikosawa Station (5-7 hours), or Kii-Hosokawa Station (2-4 hours).
