“Shukubo experience (detox your mind and body with the best scenery + pray for your wishes to come true)”
The most popular lodging in Mt. Koya among foreigners. Check in to Ekoin, which is also the semi-special head temple.
Take a leisurely break while drinking coffee, and light the fire during the "Goma prayer" experience the next morning.
Write your wishes on the Goma tree, which will make your wishes come true.
(*Goma prayer is a prayer to deliver your wishes to Fudo.
It is said that your wishes will come true by burning the goma wood. )
“Ajikan” (meditation)
Experience ``Ajikan,'' a form of zazen unique to Mt. Koya. (Esoteric Buddhism Meditation) Purify the essence of your heart and purify your faith like a transparent crystal or a pure full moon.
"Vegetarian food"
Delight in the famous sesame tofu and vegetarian cuisine made with seasonal vegetables (vegan food)
"Okunoin Night Tour"
This tour is so popular that it is difficult to make reservations for participants from Europe and America. A professional guide will show you around Okunoin.
As you walk down a quiet forest road at night, relying on a small light, you can see the faint glow of a candle in the distance.
This is the light of the toro-do hall built by Fujiwara no Michinaga. After washing your hands with the cool sound of the stream, cross the bridge and enter the temple.
Tens of thousands of lanterns are swaying in the deep darkness.
If you go further back, you will find the ancestral shrine of Kobo Daishi ``Kukai''. This moment is a moment of true devotion and purity, where the mind is led to a state of nothingness, breathing in pure air, and feeling relieved.It will surely be an unforgettable sight.
"Gogyo and Goma memorial service"
The next morning, I woke up refreshed, attended a esoteric Buddhism practice, and entered Bishamondo Temple for a Goma memorial service.
I lit the gomagi that I wrote about yesterday, and felt the heat of the large flame rising in front of me.
As the flames dance with the powerful sound of the drums, a feeling I have never felt before wells up in my heart.
Please close your eyes and pray for your wishes to come true.
Check out after breakfast and go to heliport
