Mt. Koya

Up in the mountains about two hours from Osaka is Mt. Koya. We went there on a day trip to visit the town's many shrines and temples. For me the highlight was the path through Okunoin, an old cemetery. The surroundings looked completely different every few steps and were amazingly beautiful. It is hard to narrow down which photos to post here, so here are quite a few ... though many less than what we actually took!

















We also visited Kongobuji Temple.





Later in the day we visited the Garan complex.













We also visited Daimon Gate.



On our walk back to town to catch the bus we passed this beautiful park.
