Japan 11 08 Shukubo in Koyasan










Koyasan is one large seminary of Shingon Buddhisn that has kept its lantern burning since 816.
In tiny Koyasan there are 117 temples including 53 shukubo or temples that provide lodging accommodations and dining.
This is the temple where we stayed. It was similar to staying in a ryokan however services like the preparation of futons and dining service was done by young men preparing to be Buddhist monks.
Lots later!
