Shukubo (temple stay)
The garden is said to be made of Enshu Kobori. It is the oldest Tsuru-Kame type garden (whose pond has two islands; one for a turtle and the other for a crane) on Mount Koya. Although I did not stay there, the people at the shukubo kindly let us in.
It is located in front of Oku-no-in and is the middle point between Kongobuji temple and Oku-no-in. So, it is convenient to go either way. The menu includes Mount Koya’s special shojin vegetarian cuisine, Iroha plates unique to Hozenin and sesame tofu, their specialty.
