– Attractions Introduction –

Mount Koya Sky Sanctuary (Peak cherry blossoms viewing period: early April to early May / Peak maple viewing period: late October to early November)

Mount Koya's Sky Sanctuary, celebrated for its stunning autumn foliage, is located in Koya Town, Wakayama Prefecture. This historic site, dating back 1200 years, was where the revered Buddhist monk Kukai, also known as Kobo Daishi, practiced and established the Kongobuji Temple, which serves as the central temple of the Shingon sect. With approximately 117 temples nestled within its complex, it forms a distinctive "one-mountain, one-temple" landscape. The primary sacred areas of Mount Koya are the "Okunoin" (Inner Sanctuary) and the "Danjo Garan," both set against a lush, forested backdrop at an altitude of 1000 meters, earning the mountain its nickname, the "Sky Sanctuary." In 2004, it received UNESCO World Heritage status as part of the "Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range," alongside Mount Koya, Nara Yoshino, and Kumano Sanzan. Furthermore, it boasts a coveted three-star rating in the Japanese Michelin Green Guide. Escape the urban hustle and bustle by embarking on a pilgrimage to Mount Koya, where you can immerse yourself in the rich history, culture, and natural beauty of Wakayama.

Negoroji (Peak cherry blossoms viewing period: late March to early April)

Negoroji has a history and tradition spanning around 900 years, its grand pagoda is designated as a national treasure. Towering at 36 meters, it stands as Japan's largest wooden multi-storied pagoda. The temple also boasts three distinct styles of gardens and around 7,000 Yoshino cherry trees within. Come springtime, the full-bloom cherry blossoms create a delightful scene with the temple, earning it a place among Japan's top spots for cherry blossom viewing. In early summer, lotus flowers thrive, followed by vibrant red maple leaves covering the mountainsides in autumn. In winter, the tranquil snow-covered scenery completes the cycle, offering different picturesque landscapes each season.
Shojin Ryori
Shojin Ryori, a cuisine on Mount Koya, is a unique culinary tradition that excludes fish and meat, instead highlighting seasonal vegetables and wild mountain greens. Originally consumed by ascetic monks, it embodies a profound reverence for food, self-restraint, and spiritual growth. Known as "Furumai Cuisine" on Mount Koya, its roots trace back to the Heian period, serving as a special banquet for royal and noble guests. Distinguished by the "Five Flavors" (soy sauce, vinegar, salt, sugar, and spices) and the "Five Cooking Methods" (raw, boiled, grilled, fried, and steamed), it also follows the "Five Colors" principle, ensuring visually appealing dishes. Notably, the cuisine adheres to the "Five Prohibited Ingredients," avoiding pungent elements like onions, garlic, leeks, chives, and ginger, making it suitable for strict vegetarians. A visit to Mount Koya is incomplete without savoring this meticulously crafted Shojin Ryori, offering a sensory delight for both the palate and the senses.
Inukaiyama - A Hidden Gem for Spiritual Practice; The peak maple viewing period from past years is from late October to mid-November

"Inukaiyama," located in Izumisano City, Osaka Prefecture, is Japan's oldest spiritual mountain and renowned for its valley landscapes, including 48 waterfalls, often referred to as a primeval forest. It serves as the main temple of the Shingon Buddhist sect's Inukai school, founded by En no Gyoja in 661 AD. Shipporyu-ji Temple is its focal point, and it's believed that the great master Kukai also practiced here. Inukaiyama remains a sacred site for ascetic practices, drawing pilgrims for waterfall meditation. Designated one of Japan's top 100 spots for autumn foliage, it also hosts "Inukaiyama Onsen," one of Osaka's few hot spring towns, providing relaxation opportunities. Please be aware that the "Inukaiyama Onsen Center" is closed every Wednesday.
