About
Sacred wooden bridge, the final step before Kobo Daishi's mausoleum in Okunoin Cemetery.
This 37-plank bridge symbolizes the spiritual stages of the Buddhist path and marks the threshold of Mount Koya's holiest site. It's said that Kobo Daishi still meditates beyond. The atmosphere is imbued with contemplation and serenity.
