Plan to visit at dawn, when monks outnumber tourists

Jan 2020

This is the spot where Kobo Daishi found the vajra he had hurled to determine where to build a monastery, 1200 years ago. Around twenty beautiful temples and pagodas, including the bright vermillion "great pagoda," Konpon Daito, rebuilt in the 1930s and kept freshly painted. Early in the morning, there are monks chanting in the Kondo (the main pavilion) and the 'no entry' apparently only applies to tour groups, a monk nodded me in without any objection.

Great temple area

Jul 2019

The whole temple area is quite impressive, with lots of templs, halls.. and everything within the nature. If you're lucky, it won't be too crowded. In if you're even luckier, you'll have a nice day. It's quite impressive. You have to pay to get in the main temple, but the rest are free.

A beautiful and fascinating place

Apr 2015 • Couples

We went here twice.. one in the night to see it in night lights. There were not a lot of people around and we could experience the space much more deeply. Then we also went in the morning to see it from inside. It's quite unique and beautiful from inside. The bells on the tower add to the experience of visiting this temple.

Sacred temple area, a must see in Koyastan

Dec 2019

Koyasan Danjo Garan is a sacred area with many temples and supporting buildings where Kobo Daishi Kukai started to establish Koyasan as a religious center. Most temples were constructed from 819 on.

Majestic temple complex

Apr 2019 • Solo

A must-see site in Koyasan. The brightly coloured pagoda is stunning. The Meido (Portrait Hall) is said to be the residence of Kobo Daishi, founder of Koyasan and the Shingon School. When I was there in the 4th week of April, I had the good fortune of seeing an annual ritual to pay homage to Kobo Daishi.

huge site

Oct 2017 • Solo

Big site with several temples and a huge pagoda. I went there during the day (before midday) and there wasn't a lot of people around. Relatively not as populated with tourists as the other attractions in Koyasan. Most of the structures you cannot go in (well they weren't opened when I was there), however good photo shots when there's no one around.

From here, I proceed to the Diamon (the large entrance gate)

Another must-see on Mount Koya

Apr 2015 • Solo

A great serene place for a nice stroll through out the temple complex with two storied pagoda which can be visited (on my visit, this part without any fee.) For other building there is entrance fee. Along with the Okunoin-mae area the best place on Mount Koya for me. Could be more tranquil if there were less tourist but still manageable. Chumon gate impressive, recently rebuilt to celebrate 1200th anniversary.

Such a colorful display

May 2023 • Couples

Beautiful temple with an incredible history. Definitely worth a visit as it was the first place of worship when Koyasan was created.
