The Secret Garden of Koya San

Mount Koya or Koya san is one of the most revered mountain retreats in Japan. If you are here on a weekday, you can stroll the quiet temple gardens or the mature grand forests and enjoy the solitude all to yourself. This is a good summer retreat as it is a few degrees cooler than the heat from Osaka. You can come here on a day trip or stay overnight at the rustic temple accommodation.
