Okunoin Temple at Rengein Tanjoji in Japan is a must see for all visitors. This fascinating site plays an important role in Japanese religious history, being the resting place of the founder of Shingon Buddhism Kobo Daishi. Tourists can visit the peaceful mausoleum and surroundings of Okunoin to experience a unique atmosphere of culture and spirituality. They can explore okunoin's impressive cemetery and bridges, make offerings at Jizo statues, attempt to lift a mysterious stone, and see its eternal lamps burning in Torodo Hall. It is an enriching spiritual experience for any traveler that will be remembered for a long time.
