Accidentally posted this in Chotto... a few days ago. Here it is now :P

Actually not really. I haven't updated this in like forever, but hey, I went to Koyasan! It's a place in the mountains in Wakayama prefecture - the mountains surrounding this plateau are like the leaves of the lotus, which is why Kukai (Kobo Daishi), the founder of Shingon Buddhism, chose it as the base for his new practice.
We stayed overnight in a shukubo, or temple lodging, ate shojin-ryori (traditional vegan Buddhist monk food) and hiked around. It was fantastic, and I super recommend it to anyone in Japan.
