We can't find the words to describe how Incredibly Magnificent a Koyasan adventure is, Thus this video will Stand on its own.

Below we Name & Link the Extraordinary Shukubos we stayed, Excellent Restaurants, Places visited, etc....that you see in this video. We highly recommend all of them.

For details regarding: Visiting Koyasan, Shukubo stay, Getting there, History, General Info and such, Please visit the Official Koyasan website linked below.

I do want to stress the following:

* All are welcome to visit. Regardless of Religion, Nationality, Language skills & so forth.

*When you ask, " Where should I go next in Japan after Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto? "

I will say, " Go to Koyasan & On your next visit just go to Tokyo & Koyasan."

* We discovered that the Spiritual, Traditional, Harmonious Buddhist Japan really does exist & can be fully enjoyed.

Yes. This Japan does exist & it's in Koyasan, The Spiritual Heart of Japan.
