Note: This selection of Words-and-Pictures was made on October 13, 2001, as I visited the Yamato Area of Old Japan.

This is the Okunoin ("Back Temple") of 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 Okunoin in my Logbook.
