Koyasan

Koyasan

Koyasan is not the name of a mountain. Although it is indeed located in the embrace of mountains, there is no mountain named Koya. Koyasan is the general name for these mountains.

The specialness of Mount Koya stems from its religious nature, and it is as important to Japan as Lhasa is to China.

Several generations of emperors and Japanese historical celebrities are buried here.
