Some say that I may have an unhealthy obsession with Okunoin Cemetery’s beautiful landscape. Maybe they are right, maybe not, but the sheer beauty of this place is to me mesmerizing.

A Memorable Day Trip to Koyasan from Osaka

The first article on my newly published travel blog is about Koyasan (高野山), a sacred mountain filled with beautiful temples, less than two hours away from Osaka or Wakayama. Koyasan has a truly magical atmosphere and the highlight of my visit was definitely my long walk in Okunoin Cemetary. You can find the detailed itinerary I followed during my day trip to Koyasan on my blog. 📍Koyasan, Wakayama, Japan
