Koyasan, or Mount Koya, is the site of the headquarters of Japanese Shingon Buddhism. Its mountains are located to the south of Osaka in Wakayama Prefecture and are home to various ancient structures, including more than one hundred temples and the largest graveyard in the country. Today, Koyasan is a very popular pilgrimage destination for those looking to learn more about the religion's history, experience temple lodging and enjoy beautiful and picturesque scenery. While the precincts of the Koyasan temple complex are a fascinating destination even by day, they become even more intriguing and atmospheric after the sun goes down. Soak up history and mystique as you wander through the Okuno-in cemetery at night. This is a unique opportunity to experience Koyasan's spiritual side at a time when all of the other tourists have gone home.
Any photo in my collection can be made as a stunning black & white print.
