So after 4 trains and a cable car we arrive in Koyasan or Mount Koya. We also found out we could have got here by taking two trains and a cable car! AND in half the time!
There are no hotels on the mountain, we are booked at a Buddhist temple lodge. We arrived 10 minutes before dinner which was very tasty after our long trip. Everything was veggie so I got to try some new things (without fear of the little white fishies at appear in everything!) They live salt A LOT here everything is VERY well salted... so I was downing a lot of water.
After dinner we went to an onsen which is a large bathroom with showers and a kinda like a hot tub. It was very relaxing. When we returned they set up our beds on the floor and it was fairly comfortable if you sleep on your back... something I didn`t realize until more than half way through the night.
In the morning we visited the main attraction which was a mausoleum with laterns showing the way. It was really beautiful and we got tons of photos. After that we were on out way out. We took the cable car down and only one train (one train!) to Osaka. I slept a lot of the way while Anna watched our stuff (she figured out the back sleeping before I did).
