The only regret to go to Gaoye Mountain this time is that I didn't stay on the mountain for one night. Plus, I took the train from Wakayama City for an hour and a half to Hashimoto City on the day before going up the mountain. I made an appointment to meet a friend. I had a lot to talk about, but the relationship of time, an hour ended in a hurry, and then went up the mountain. If you live on the mountain, everything is fine, you can slowly feel the quiet, but the accommodation seems to be very tight, there is no way to book the hotel on the day, especially a good hotel, so everyone must pay attention, if you want to stay on the mountain overnight, you must book in advance. The package can be used for two consecutive days, and the next day can be slowly transferred again.
The Buddhist holy place in Japan is the main temple of Kobo Daishi. We visited in the autumn when the red leaves were very beautiful on both sides of Omotesando. It is a famous place for viewing red leaves in the island country. Kongobuji Temple was built by Kobo Daishi. You can visit it in slippers. It is also a world cultural heritage.
