A colpo d'occhio
The Tahōtō pagoda, built in 1223, is the oldest structure on Mount Kōya and contains a remarkable relic: strands of Minamoto no Yoritomo's hair wrapped around the central Buddha statue.
Hōjō Masako founded this temple in 1211 to honor her late husband, then rebuilt its pagoda in 1223 after their son was assassinated to commemorate him too.

Plan to walk the temple grounds slowly to appreciate the six ancient cedar trees, each several hundred years old, which create a solemn atmosphere that reflects the temple's 800-year history.
The temple is located approximately 4 km from Gokurakubashi train station and 4.8 km from Koyasan Station, with free private parking available on the grounds.
Participate in sutra copying or Ajikan meditation if offered during your stay, as these hands-on practices connect you directly to the temple's Shingon Buddhist traditions.

Prenota il tuo soggiorno al tempio con largo anticipo, soprattutto durante i periodi di punta. Gli ospiti che pernottano possono partecipare alla cerimonia buddhista mattutina alle 6:30 ogni giorno dell'anno, oltre che alla meditazione. Il tempio si trova a circa 4 km dalla Stazione di Gokurakubashi e a 4,8 km dalla Stazione di Koyasan, con parcheggio privato gratuito in loco.
Dedica tempo a passeggiare lentamente per i giardini e a osservare sei antichi cedri, ognuno di diversi secoli di età, che si adattano perfettamente all'atmosfera solenne e alla storia di 800 anni del tempio. Se disponibili durante il tuo soggiorno, prova la copia di sutra o la meditazione Ajikan per un'introduzione pratica alla pratica buddhista Shingon.
