We headed up into the mountain of Koya-san for a night at a Buddhist temple. It was very cold and drafty inside the temple, and our portable heaters and heated tables were our saviors. That, plus the heated toilet seats. Our Buddhist dinner and breakfast were vegetarian, and they tasted better than I expected, seeing as how I am a big carnivore. We visited the Okunoin cemetery, the largest graveyard in Japan, which houses many of Japan's historical figures, including shoguns and samurai.
i'm so surprised you enjoyed the vegetarian meal too! ok all of these beautiful pictures need to stop. you keep outdoing yourself!
