Mt. Koya begins here, with the statues of the Kongo-Rikishi temple gods standing before you.

The current Daimon, the looming main gate that acts as the entrance to Mt. Koya, was rebuilt in 1705. The famous statues of the Kongo-Rikishi gods are enshrined on both sides. This large gate presents itself in different ways, depending on the season, weather, and time of your visit.

The cuisine of Mt. Koya

When coming to Mt. Koya, you will naturally want to try local cuisine for lunch, and when you think of the cuisine, you think of shojin ryori. Although there are many restaurants that offer shojin ryori, this is the only one that offer it in such an authentic manner. Each course is painstakingly created using seasonal mountain vegetables growing naturally in the vast mountain range. The famous restaurant starkly preserves the tradition of "five ways, five flavors, five colors." Irregular holidays
