Main Hall (left) and Daito (right)
The Garan is Koyasan's central temple complex, which was originally constructed by Kobo Daishi. It was enlarged over the centuries and now consists of the Kondo (main hall), Daito (great tower), Saito (western tower), the Miedo (Mie hall) and various other temple and shrine buildings.
The Daito and Saito are so called tahoto, a rather rare kind of pagoda which still resembles the Indian stupa more than the more common three and five storied Japanese pagoda.
