How to stay overnight in a temple in Japan
Religious Japanese travelers have used them for lodging for years, but recently, historical temples with reservable rooms — “temple stays,” or shukubo — have become accessible to foreign tourists. We checked into Kakurinbo, a 550-year-old shukubo near Mount Fuji, and found a meditative experience, Buddhist-inspired vegetarian fine dining and a peaceful look at life outside of cities Read more: Subscribe to The Washington Post on YouTube:

VLOG 1: A day trip to Koyasan (Mount Koya, Okunoin Temple, Japan) 高野山
Mount Koya, or Koyasan, is one of religious centers of Japan and UNESCO World Heritage site located in a beautiful old forest.
Hello and welcome to my channel! This is my second YouTube video and first ever vlog. On this channel I would like to share my passion for travel, photography and East Asian countries, starting from Japan. This channel will be heavily nature-oriented although not limited to it. I would like to welcome you to follow me on my journey.
Before we get to my Japan travel blog lets me introduce myself. My name is Roman Sudarikov. I was born in Estonia. At the age of eleven I moved to Finland, where I have spent more than 20 years of my life. Currently I am staying in Kyoto, Japan. I feel that this place has everything I need. It has a feeling of a small little town surrounded by nature and full of history, but at the same time it provides everything that you would expect from a big city. It is full of contradictions which I find very fascinating. I like Kyoto a lot and wanted to spend here a bit longer period of time, so in the beginning of this year I decided to make my move. More information about me can be found on my website
In my very first vlog I visit Mount Koya or Koyasan (高野山) on a day trip from Kyoto. Koyasan is a small town with over one hundred temples situated in the northern part of Wakayama Prefecture. It is located on an 800-meters high basin surrounded by eight mountain peaks. Landform's resemblance to a lotus flower is said to have been the main reason for choosing the place. Koyasan is the religious center of Shingon Buddhism and one of Japan’s most sacred sites. The Shingon sect was established in 816 by the monk Kukai (774–835), also known as Kobo Daishi. He is believed not to be dead, but only resting there in eternal meditation awaiting the return of the Buddha in his mausoleum at Okunoin Temple. Okunoin's cemetery is largest in Japan with over 200000 tombstones and the most representative place of all Mount Koya. This is where the most of Koyasan online pictures you see come from and also where we spent most of our day trip. The other places we visited on that day are Kongobuji Temple and Danjo Garan Temple. Kongobuji is the head temple of Shingon Buddhism and Danjo Garan on the other hand is a main temple complex of Koyasan.
A day trip to Koyasan is a very feasible option if you are staying in Kyoto, although staying overnight at one of the temples would make even better experience. It was great fun filming and editing this video. I also learned a lot in process. Thank you very much for watching!

Deep in the Wakayama Prefecture, a centuries-old religious community continues to thrive. Koyasan or Mount Koya, is cherished across Japan as one of the country’s most sacred sites. Historically, it is the centre of a Buddhist sect known as Shingon and is said to be where founder Kobo Daishi achieved an eternal meditative state. Today, local and international visitors make the journey to UNESCO-listed Koyasan for several reasons - some wish to reconnect with nature, while others come to learn about Japanese tradition.
Although it’s less than 100 km from Osaka and a little further from Kyoto, Koyasan feels an entire world away from both bustling cities. Wander through the mountain-top town and you’ll be surrounded by perfect photo opps. From the stone torii gates, to the Buddhist pagodas dotted through wooded cemeteries, every spot feels enchantingly sacred. Mount Koya is spectacular all year round, but its sights are particularly striking when surrounded by crimson foliage in autumn, or dusted in winter snow.
Mount Koya’s population is estimated at just 3,000 permanent residents, yet it’s home to more than 100 temples. The oldest of them is the Danjo Garan-on or Garan temple complex, founded by revered monk Kobo Daishi (also known as Kukai) in the 9th century. It’s said that Kukai founded the initial temple as a place for him and his followers to pray for prosperity, and to teach others to do the same. But there's another version of the story: legend says that Kukai prayed to find the right place to set up his sect and in the process, threw an ancient trident from China in the direction of Japan, where it soared across the seas and landed in a tree on Mount Koya. Whether you decide to believe the story or not, the tree in question stands in front of the Miedo Temple.
The number of shrines and monuments to visit can be overwhelming, so be sure to prioritise the head temple, Kongobu-ji, vermillion Konpon Daito pagoda and Kondo, where Koya’s most sacred rituals take place. After touring Kongobu-ji, head next door to see Japan’s largest zen garden, Banryutei.
Another unmissable sight is the Okunoin Cemetery. The 2 km long graveyard is the biggest in Japan and is the final resting place of 200,000 Shingon monks awaiting the resurrection of Buddha. Walk through the forested cemetery, past mossy stupas and beanie-wearing jizo statues and you’ll soon come to the main attraction: Kukai’s mausoleum. Many pilgrims come to Koyasan to pay their respects here, so expect crowds.
The best way to top off a visit to Mount Koya is with an overnight stay at a traditional shukobo (Buddhist lodging). After a long day of exploration, enjoy a vegetarian shojin ryori (Buddhist cuisine) feast, including dishes like rice, seasonal veg and tofu. As a guest, you’ll even have the opportunity to attend morning prayers with the local monks. It’s the perfect way to top off a trip to the spiritual heart of Japan.

Koya-San (Japan) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Koya-San in Japan.
The secluded plateau of Koya-San is situated at an altitude of around nine hundred metres on the Japanese peninsula of Kii. This monastery mountain is one of the most important and oldest pilgrimage sites in Japan. In 816 A.D., Kobo Daishi, founder of the Shingon School, had the first monastery built, which was subsequently followed by a hundred and twenty four temple buildings. The Danjo Garan Complex is rated as one of the first sites and encompasses twenty temples and buildings. Symbolically, a red glowing pagoda stands in the centre of a mandala in the form of a lotus. The temple buildings are situated within dense forests and represent the heyday of ninth century Japanese Buddhism. The Okunoin Cemetery is considered to be the holiest location on Koya-San. Containing around twenty thousand graves, the largest cemetery in Japan extends within a mystical forest of ancient cedar trees, a ‘whispering forest’ that contains ancestral spirits. Buddha statues line the path that leads to the Kobo-Daishi Mausoleum. Tiny figures with red bibs around their necks are believed to protect the young. In front of the last bridge to the holiest district, a series of Buddha statues is ready to accept offerings and worship. In the Hall Of Lamps, lights burn continuously as they have allegedly done for nine hundred years.

Sleeping inside a MOUNTAIN TEMPLE with Monks in KOYASAN Japan
This 2-day Koyasan guide will be one of the most spiritual experiences in your life. Come along, as we take you on a magical Koyasan temple stay that’s 2 hours outside of Osaka in the deep, lush mountains of Japan that will get you back in touch with nature, as well as your spirit.
We spent the night inside Ekoin temple on Mount Koya and it turned into one of the highlights of our Japan trip. Staying in one of the temples atop the mountain will see you having vegetarian food prepared by the monks, meditating with the monks and partaking in the Goma fire ritual that’s guaranteed to blow you away.
At most of the temples, they’ll have an English-speaking monk who will guide you through the ceremonies and also offer to take you on an unforgettable night walk inside Okunoin, where you’ll get to learn about its history, as well as the legendary spot where Kobo Daishi entered into eternal meditation.
We promise, this is a visit you’ll never forget, and if you’re looking for something a little different on your next visit to Japan, Koyasan will not disappoint.
