Mount Koya in Japan serves as the center of Shingon Buddhism, established by monk Kukai in 805 CE. This UNESCO World Heritage site houses over 100 temples within its forested mountain setting. The Okunoin cemetery contains over 200,000 graves spanning 1,200 years of Japanese history.
Traditional Japanese temple pagoda with orange and white architecture viewed through towering cedar trees. Jizo statues wearing red knitted caps and bibs arranged in rows at a Buddhist temple cemetery. Buddhist monks in orange robes walking along a forest path between ancient cedar trees at Mount Koya. Stone memorial pathway through Okunoin cemetery lined with traditional Japanese grave markers and moss-covered monuments.

A row of Jizō in the old Okunoin cemetary in Japan.
A gentle protector of children and travelers in Buddhist tradition.
The small red scarves and knitted hats are placed by families, a quiet sign of love and remembrance.

A long row of small grey, stone Jizō statues standing closely together in Okunoin cemetery, Japan. They are lined along a moss-covered railing beside a stone staircase leading up to a grave monument. They wear small red scarves or cloths around their necks and knitted red hats.

An old and gently weathered stone lantern at Okunoin in the mountain village of Koyasan, for a #GreenSat.
A reminder that true beauty deepens and grows with the passing of years.

A moss-covered stone lantern stands in a forest setting. The lantern has a roof-like top coated in thick green moss. Around it are other stones and dense tree trunks that create a mysterious, shadowy atmosphere, the scene feels old and still.

A spiritual walk at night through Okunoin Cemetery

A spiritual walk at night through Okunoin Cemetery Last spring we were invited by priests to visit Koyasan, the birthplace of Shingon Buddhism in Japan. We stayed overnight at a temple. Highlights of the visit were walking at night along the Okunoin Cemetery to the mausoleum of Kukai, the founder of Shingon, and participating in a Goma Ritual. Walking along the 2 km path through the cemetery was a spiritual experience, and not scary at all. -- ƒ/4.0, 50 mm, 0.8, 1.6, 8, 25 sec, ISO 400, Sony A7 II, Canon 50mm f0.95 "Dream Lens", HDR, CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, © 2023 Peter Thoeny, @Quality HDR Photography

Mount Koya (Koyasan): A remote mountain settlement that serves as the center of Shingon Buddhism. Staying in a traditional temple lodging (shukubo) and walking through the centuries-old Okunoin forest cemetery at dawn offers an atmosphere of absolute stillness.
