This post is a little delayed. Last Saturday we went to Koya San (Mount Koya). This was such a beautiful place! There are lots of temples on Mount Koya, but we didn't go to many of those. Instead, we walked through a huge graveyard with over 200,000 grave markers, including markers for many of Japan's famous rulers. It was a really cool place, and I don't know that I can do it justice in words. The graveyard was inside a huge cedar forest. The trees were gigantic! The only downside: cedars are the one plant I am really allergic to. I felt kind of lousy the whole time we were there, but Taylor was nice and took pictures for me, so I still have lots of pictures.
After we left the graveyard we went to eat a dinner that monks had prepared for us. There was no meat in the meal, and it has some of the most interesting things I have eaten. As always, pictures (and more detailed explanations) will be added on when I have a little more time. Probably when I am home from Japan.
