KOYASAN

     k    o    y    a    s    a    n     

here is the place where recorded as world heritage by unesco. the atmosphere was extraordinary holy and mysterious. particularly, when I went there at that day, it was raining so violently. therefore, that atmosphere was increasing naturally. So, this is the entrance of one graveyard named Okuno-in. apparently, here was the one of three major sacred sites. but I didn't know that when I was in there. but the more I go to an inner part, I was begun to feel some feeling not a word. some of the grave for lots of personal one and company's one and victims of natural disaster. it was so sacred, seriously.

So, by the way, these picts are the one of koyasan station. when we got here, some strip of papers were decorated on the some part of station. then, this red vehicle is the cable car which put us up to the top of koyasan. almost take 5 minutes of something.

we were so starving! so, immediately we had lunch sooner. this restaurant is named " San-bou ". we searched before come here. and this restaurant was the best one to can get a " Shoujin cuisine " means very traditional and cultural japan cuisine. we were queuing for 30 minutes under the shining and squall! so, we got it!

yay! it was extraordinary yummy! I couldn't expect such a tasteful result! 

it's so hard to go everywhere at Koyasan in one day. I strongly recommend to stay 2days or moreover! basically every spot and shop which placed on around there will close at 17:00. and there are too many distance on every part even if using a bus. so it's good to have enough time to visit! but definitely good to go! I personally think to go in winter will be so pretty manifique!
