FEATURED EXPERIENCE
” Spiritual Awakening: A Koyasan Journey”
In the mist-covered peaks of Mount Koya, ancient temples have preserved Japan’s spiritual heart for over 1,200 years. This UNESCO World Heritage site offers a rare opportunity to experience monastic life firsthand—from sleeping in temple lodgings to participating in morning prayers and savoring traditional shojin ryori (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine). Walk among 200,000 lantern-lit graves in Okunoin cemetery, meditate in halls where Kobo Daishi once sat, and discover the transformative power of sacred silence.
