The peaceful Kukai's retreat

Spirituality

The Daimon, leaving the town
For many japanese, espacially those member of the shingon budhist sect, KoyaSan is the aim of a pilgrimage. Some will finish there the "88 temple of Shikoku pilgrimage". Foreigners will often stay in temple, so to be able to attend the prayer. The surrounding is incredibly beautiful and peaceful, altough it can be full of visitors, all japanese, but for very few exceptions.
