Kongobu-ji Kompon Daito (Grand Central Pagoda)

Ive just spent the last 90 days circumnavigating japan, ive visited alot of shrines and temples, this to me is one of the finest in all japan, the interior is amazing the statues are incredible and the art work on The Pillars is like nothing ive seen. I was so impressed I sat inside for nearly an hour just soaking it in

Reached the compound early morning and there were hardly any people around. Absolutely beautiful and serene place! The history associated with this place is enormous! Do read all the plaques.

Stunning and really takes the breath away. 10/10 a must visit in Koyasan

We visited the temple complex, with Kongobu-ji at it's center. Though you will have to remove your shoes to do so, it is well worth the fee to enter the central pagoda. The entire area is worthy of a slow exploration.

The stupa is the tallest structure in Koya. It contains five large statues of Buddha. You pay¥500 as you entet and can stay as long as you like. No photos allowed.

The 3D mandala is very beautiful. The history of this place is wonderful to experience. A lot of signage is in English and Japanese so if you speak either of these, you will learn many interesting details about the area.

Amazing!!!! I absolutely loved this place.

Snow makes the time frozen, likes part of yourself stays still on the scene since to forever, each huge bell ringing that monk hit, recalls every your last life's memory pull each yourself together again then, mind and spirit elevated, whole pieces are restored.
