Koya-san

Koya-san is a mountain which is part of the World Heritage listed Kii Mountain Range in Wakayama prefecture. Koya-san contains a number of temples of the Shingon school of Buddhism. It's also the location of Okunoin cemetery where there are graves of the who's who of Japanese history.

I want to give a big thank you to our friend Mr Tada who shared Koya-san with us.
