Last November, a group of my friends decided to drive up to Koyasan World Heritage Site over mountains of Kii Mountain Range. Going through suburbs of Osaka and passing short distance valley of cultivation lands - divided into tiny pieces, then little up to down-hill sides where families selling organges on the road and vegetation occupiniyng of slim trees like bamboos, that will be typical route to Kii Mounatains. Further such well-maintained road led us to towards upper part of Koya mountain. Surrounded all by pointy mountains, Koya’s pilgrim town is majestically located for great view. Templtes, shrines, cemetery were built in with neat effort and eye-catching cute shapes, yes immense culture of respect and tradition there exists. You can see nice pictures at Koya-san’s website.
Up there, Koya is rolling among trees of old age and large size which seemingly tell you stories of ancient times under chilly shadows of their own. When leaves change new colours in authumn, such beautiful a place! - it creates featuring with peaceful temples. Sure, it is worthy visiting!
