FROM GOJO

Koyasan

Cedar-lined paths lead into a mountain town of temples. Spend time walking and discovering a place where religious life and everyday routines meet.

A DAY DURING YOUR STAY

Sit down for lunch and rest your feet before continuing through town.
03 · Afternoon
Visit Danjo Garan
Explore the grounds around the Great Pagoda and Kondo Hall, choosing how much to see according to your pace.
04 · Back at yoinn
Return from the mountain town
Leave enough time for the road back. After dinner, listen to a record or talk about the day.

Planning your day
