Stairs of Nyukan Shofu Shrine... It continues from the precincts of Jison-in Temple. Town stones of 180 towns... The town stone path of the Koyasan pilgrimage route continues from the side of the stairs of Nyukan Shofu Shrine. On this trip, I gave up on the town stone road, which was marked as impassable.

Mr. Kukai also does some pretty cool things. I heard good things about the company's founding. The stone steps looking up from Jison-in make me think, I've experienced longer stone steps than here. No problem. Run all at once. Peeking out from inside the worship hall, the main shrine dyed in vivid vermilion makes you wish you could take a closer look. This is the entrance to Koya, and the town's stone path. Returning the way I came, I looked at the cityscape from the top of the stone steps, and was already feeling excited and headed for Mt. Koya.

The shrine building is located at the top of 119 steps from Jison-in Temple. It was a beautiful main shrine. This is where the town stone road passes. A watershed is set up above the pond. Goldfish were swimming in the pond.

Hanyu Kanshofu Shrine, a World Heritage Site, is located above Jison-in Temple. It was located quite high up, after climbing 119 stone steps. When I looked at the mountain ⛰️ in the direction of the bricks in front of the main hall, the man inside told me that it was Mt. Koya, and I was like, “Wow!” The goshuin was also very carefully written. thank you.

It takes about 7 hours on foot on the gentle path from Niukan Shobu Jinja to Koyasan. The shrine is small but beautiful. Noted on my wonder-tips site.
