Dear visitor, if you know the answer to this question, please post it. Thank you! visitin oku no in cemetery in koya san 2009/8/7 Koyasan is it possible to visit the oku no in cemetery in koyasan in the evening, possibly after the dinner in the shukubo, or do the shukubo close too eraly to be able to go out after dinner?and are the busue in the vening from the town to the cemetery? by ludogasp   Koya 2009/8/7 Ludagasp: Yes you can walk thru Okunoin after your temple dinner. Buses possibly not running much after 6pm, but you can walk there from pretty much any temple in Koya. Bear in mind that Okunoin is very atmospheric after dark, but not very well lit, so watch your step! by Hikari365 rate this post as useful ... 2009/8/8 The interior of the temple is closed, but the site of Kobo Daishi's eternal meditation is accessible. by Uji rate this post as useful you can go at night 2009/8/9 We went after dinner and as such the cemetary does not close. It is a bit spooky at dusk, with the sound of owls and tree wood squeeking in the wind, ... but thats the whole fun of it. by jbx1 rate this post as useful Photographers wonderland 2009/8/9 It's also a fantastic place for photography. I spent hours there in the snow. by RodW rate this post as useful ... 2009/8/9 No photography is allowed in the innermost part around the main temple hall. It is considered one of Japan's most sacred areas. by Uji rate this post as useful
