Kia ora from New Zealand. My partner and I had the good fortune of spending time in Koyasan and the pleasure of staying at a Buddhist temple lodging (Kongosanmai-in) before we set off on the four day Kumano kodo pilgrimage trail along the Nakahechi route starting in Tanabe and finishing in Shingu with overnight stay in Takahara, Nonaka, and Yunomine onsen. Thank you for posting such a wonderful video to KZbin.

Happy to hear that you had a great time in Koyasan. Thank you!

Koyasan is cool, I spent the night there and it’s so mystical. Definitely want to go back and take my parents once this COVID problem is resolved and safe to travel again

[@miekie1991]

I went to Koyasan with my mother to show her the true beauty of Japan. We both loved it. We stayed at Ekoin, a temple lodging suitable for English speakers! They offer a night tour of Okunoin (also available in English,which I definitely recommend), a fire ceremony in the morning, Buddhist cuisine and meditation session. If you want the full experience, I recommend this temple, since booking is easy for foreigners (yet pricey, but in the same range as the other temple loding in Koyasan)!

[@lucianoarrieta5786]

I so want to be there, do those tours and live those moments...

[@doioz]

I'm always so stunned by the sheer amount wnd variety of b-roll shots. Incredibly professional man! I liked the part about the cemetery best, didn't know it was so large!

[@japanguide]

Thanks a lot!

[@perdomot]

Really want to visit Osaka and Kyoto again as well as Tokyo. Miss it so much.

Great video, Koyasan is so beautiful, and the knife forging looked so interesting- great shots and great hosting by Raina!

[@matthewdishington3842]

I have done Koyasan a number of times and absolutely loved it. I would love to be able to travel back there one day.

I like the relaxed pace and extra narration of this video, I can enjoy the views and learn more about what I'm looking at.

[@KOREA4K]

Hello, I'm watching a great video. Thank you all the time

[@chongseitmooi2593]

Interesting recommendation

[@muslihat2487]

please talk about samue, japanese working cloth, i believe there is somany people would love to know and buy it because its more natural to wear samue than kimono, when we get back to our own country...so please

[@alamhijaualvin3672]

8:41 emmmmm it's nice and warm, just taste like a tea 😂😂😂

[@fiverareblanks]

im very interested in getting some hands on time with one of these forges anyone know what would be a good option?

[@nightmaretrooper5064]

I'd love to buy a blade from Japan but it leads to one question? If I buy a blade from them and If I were to return to America wouldn't I get in trouble to carry a blade I bought from Japan?

[@atsukorichards1675]

My son came back by air from Japan with a cooking knife in his suitcase, and he had no trouble at all.

[@mkwong138]

Hi, can someone share how to book the temple stay? Thanks.

[@sierraandcali9589]

How do you say Blacksmith in Japanese? What is the Kanji? Asking because my last name is Blacksmith

[@sierraandcali9589]

I'd like to make a hanko with the Kanji

[@atsukorichards1675]

Blacksmith in Japanese is 鍛冶/かじ (kaji). It is a general term for a blacksmith or the blacksmithing.
