Koyasan, the sacred mountain


Taking advantage of being in Easter time, I bring you a post about Koyasan, the sacred mountain of Japan. Located in the Wakayama prefecture, about 1000 meters above sea level, and headquarters of the Shingon Buddhist branch, the area was declared a World Heritage Site in 2004. The importance of the area lies not only in its scenic appeal, but also in its atmosphere as a religious and spiritual center.

Aprovechando que estamos en Semana Santa os traigo un post sobre Koyasan, la montaña sagrada de Japón.  Localizada en la prefectura de Wakayama, a unos 1000 metros sobre el nivel del mar, y sede central de la rama budista shingon, la zona fue declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad en 2004. La importancia de la zona reside no únicamente en su atractivo paisajístico, sino también en su atmósfera como centro religioso y espiritual.
