A Journey Through Mount Koya's Sacred Sanctuary

MOUNT KOYA, JAPAN - JUNE 13: Two red municipal fire engines equipped with emergency lighting bars and custom Teisen and Morita bodywork sit parked inside a local station garage bay on Mount Koya (Koyasan) in Koya-cho, Ito District, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, on June 13, 2026. This steep valley settlement along the Nankai Koya Line railway corridor serves as the historical gateway and trailhead for the ancient Choishi-michi pilgrimage route up to Mount Koya (Koyasan), preserving traditional Japanese mountainside architecture featuring tiled roofs and terraced foundations.
