| Comment |
Mt. Koyasan welcomes both religious
visitors and general tourists. Fifty-three temple lodgings (shukubo)
are located in the downtown area, but no accommodation is available
on the mountain. Spending a night at one of these temple lodgings
is an experience not to be missed, and some temples even provide
beautiful accommodations and gardens that are no less luxurious
than those of top Japanese inns (ryokan). At temple lodgings, monks
cook and serve simple meals prepared in the traditional style of
the area for the guests. A tasty vegetarian supper might include
slices of yam presented like sashimi, wheat gluten dishes, and "nabe-mono"
dishes cooked and served in a large pan. Hot Japanese sake called
hannya-yu ("enlightening hot water") and beer may also
be enjoyed with the meal. |
