Walk through this vast and ethereal cemetery, home to ancient graves and the mausoleum of Kūkai. The moss-covered stone lanterns create a deeply spiritual and contemplative atmosphere. Visit at dusk for an unforgettable, mystical experience.

Okunoin Cemetery

Pay homage at the eternal resting place of Kōbō Daishi (Kūkai), the founder of Shingon Buddhism. The devout atmosphere here is incredibly powerful, even for non-Buddhists. Maintain respectful silence and observe the local customs.
