Mount Koya: Day 1, The Garan
(Fri., Oct. 12, 2001)
Journal: A New Beginning
Note: This Journal entry was written on October 12, 2001, as I walked on the Old Tokaido. Take a look at that day's Logbook for more.
--------
It's like starting all over. All the information I've gathered to travel the Tokaido must be set aside. New books, new pamphlets, new websites to consult. Guessing (correctly) that my PHS data link card wouldn't work up on Koyasan, I spent a few hours last night downloading information about Shikoku.
It's a new beginning.

The Garan on Mount Koya

The Garan is located on Mt Koya, home of Japan's Shingon Buddhism. Located in Honshu's Wakayama Prefecture, Koyasan is the proper start and end point for the 88 Temple Pilgrimage on the Island of Shikoku. You can read more about my visit to the Garan area in my Logbook.
