Sacred Ascent to Mt. Koya
Journey from the ancient streets of Kyoto to the sacred mountains of Mount Koya, a spiritual sanctuary that has been the heart of Japanese Buddhist practice for centuries.

Check into a traditional shukubo (Buddhist temple lodging), immersing yourself in the serene world of monastic life.
In the afternoon, embark on an extensive 4-hour guided tour that unveils the profound spiritual landscape of Mount Koya. Explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Okunoin Cemetery, walk among thousands of moss-covered tombstones and ancient cedar trees, and discover the final resting place of legendary samurai, Buddhist monks, and historical figures.
