The largest cemetery in Japan, lined with ancient cedar trees, leading to the mausoleum of Kōbō Daishi. It holds over 200,000 graves of samurai, monks, and notable figures. Whether by day or night, the atmosphere is deeply mystical and serene—a powerful place of spirituality, nestled between nature and memory.

💴 Entrance fee: Free
👥 Tourist level: Moderately touristy – deeply respected and often visited in silence, especially by pilgrims.
