Danjo Garan (壇場伽藍) on Koyasan

Kobo Daishi’s life was devoted, in part, to the construction of Danjo Garan on Koyasan. The grounds are lovely and probably crawling with tourists 99% of the time. If you ever visit Koyasan, do yourself a favor, and instead of making it a day trip or being the first one back on the bus/tram/train in the morning after breakfast, head over to Danjo Garan in the morning when you will likely have the place to yourself.
