About
Vast sacred cemetery planted with ancient cedars, home to the mausoleum of Kobo Daishi.
Over 200,000 moss-covered tombs and monuments stand among towering cedar trees in a timeless atmosphere. The path winds through the forest to the mausoleum of Shingon Buddhism's founder. Wander off the main trail to discover hidden monuments and deepen the contemplative experience.
