KOYASAN Day Trip: The best day trip of my life.

Koyasan Japan day trip from Osaka was absolutely incredible. I've been nowhere like it. We visited the Okunion Cemetary, The Kobo Daishi mausoleum, the Kongobuji temple, and the Grand Pagoda. I would love to go back someday.

Your narration, the visuals, and the music transported me to Koyasan. I felt what you felt, I had tears of joy in my eyes, it came from something deeper than that it’s hard to explain. We’re going to Osaka on the last week of this month and I just added Koyasan to our itinerary. Thank you so much. You have been very helpful 🙏👍❤

Your comment makes me feel so good! Koyasan is a special place, and I'm happy to share that. I am envious of your upcoming trip, and wish you the best experience in Japan. I would love it if you shared some of your experience when you get back. Cheers!

Me and my wife went to Koya during our trip last year, we took the opportunity to make a prayer at the shrine there, my aunt has cancer so we wished for her to get a healthy. 2 months ago we got news that her cancer treatment has been successful, we still can't believe it because at the time things didn't look good for her. Next year we will be going back to Koya and we plan to take my aunt with us.

@chinesekangaroo This is such a remarkable and beautiful story! Thank you for sharing. Mount Koya is such a special place. I’m happy your Aunt is doing well, and it’s miraculous she is going to experience these sacred grounds.

Your cinematography is awesome 🌷👍🌷 I can feel the calmness in your mind and the joy in your heart. It’s such a delight to follow your steps in Koyasan. Thank you so much 🙏

[@MMTravelJournal]

That’s so kind of you to say - thank you!

Can I only select highlight spots to visit since I only have 1-day trip? Could you please suggest 4-5 spots on Mt. Koya? Thank you.

[@MMTravelJournal]

I would definitely visit Okunoin and the mausoleum of Kobo Daishi at the end of the walking path at Okunoin. Next, the Danjo Garan Temple complex. After that, the Daimon gate. That is the top three that can be done in a day. You can grab a tourist map when you get to Mt. Koya with ideas on how to spend the rest of the day.

How did you buy all the tickets at once? It seems like a lot of trains and buses and worrying about getting lost

[@MMTravelJournal]

It turned out pretty easy. We bought round trip tickets for everything at the ticket counter in the Namba station in Osaka. We just pointed on our phone where we wanted to go, and they took care of the rest. They gave use a couple of envelopes with the tickets. From the Namba station, you take the Nan Kai train to gokurakabashi station, there’s no other options but the cable car you’re supposed to get on. The bus waits for everybody at the top. It’s a very short bus ride to the different spots in Koyasan, and the buses run frequently. You can hop on and off all you want. It’s much easier than it sounds.
