Mt. Koya was a magical experience and one of the most impressive places in Japan. Our guide Yuka was very good as well, making the trip an unforgettable experience thanks to her explanations and passion for the place

Mr. Hideo Yoshida was amazing. He was very fast and took us from our hotel deep into the mountains to Koyasan. He had a good English and was eager to explain all the historical facts about the place. We like to walk and he was explaining what we saw even with pictures and explanations that he brought with him. Ask specifically for him to the agency.

Good experience with Eric Tanaka San, our guide. He prepared all the train ticket and tell us about Japan Shogun history.. is a fruitful walking tour. If you want to join this tour, please remember to bring water and pack your lunch or snacks, because the restaurant there is very packed and we dont have much time to queue.. Lucky that Tanaka San already mention this to us, so we are not starving.. ?
One of interesting part of this tour, that you need to ride a cable car to reach mount koya..
we want to thank Eric Tanaka San who make this trip enjoyable.

One of the most beautiful Temples I’ve seen in my life. Yuka our tour guide amazing. I only wish the tour on Mt Koya lasts a little longer because you spend more time arriving than in the actual place.

We had a beautiful day up at Mt Koya. We enjoyed the company of Mr Suga. He was very patient with us and went out of his way to make the trip memorable.

A very delightful and relaxing tour the tour guide mr Okazaki was on time we took a train from my hotel to the train station from where we can reach koya mountain. The fares for the train and the cable car are not included in the price of this tour so put in mind you have to pay for yourself and then tour guide. We visited three areas in koya mountain the famous grave yard with the kobo daishi grave then the main temple of shingon buddism and finally the museum. It was such an interesting and spiritualy uplifting tour if I was alone I wouldn’t have been able to go there myself because the train and subway system can be difficult for a first time tourist. The only reason I gave this tour 4 stars is because me Okazaki’s knowledge of the religious statues in the temples like the bosastsu the hotoke and the Miyuu is a little weak .overall this is one of my favorite tours I did in japan and me Okazuki is one of the nicest people I met
