Come Join us as we travel by car, train to cable car and even riding bus to snowy place and contemplative surroundings of “KOYASAN”
UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Learning more about the history and spirituality of Buddhism, Koyasan is a symbol of the fusion of cultures. After completing 100 days of training, monks come to thank Koyasan’s guardian gods where Mount Kōya is.
Located in a large temple settlement in Wakayama Prefecture, the south of Osaka, Japan.
From Osaka, we drove 1 hour to KAMIKOSAWA Station (A local train station)
We arrived by 12nn to catch train by 12:51pm.
It is the farthest that we can go by car due to heavy snow at the peak.
We don’t want to take a risk by climbing KOYASAN Mountains without our snow gear so we decided to stop by nearest train station we had on the road.
From KAMIKOSAWA STATION, it’s easy to get the ticket (no need to pay yet, you will reach the counter at the BUS STATION – your last stop)
After the train station, it will route you automatically to the CABLE CAR
and from the CABLE CAR going to the BUS STATION.
Bus will route you to KOYASAN.
Going back home is vice versa.
It’s so easy. No hassle with the transportation.
Please be mindful of the SCHEDULED TRAIN in every area.
Please double check the last TRIP of the BUS and ask locals where’s the proper BUS STOP location.
We took the 6:30pm, last BUS TRIP going back to CABLE CAR to TRAIN STATION.
About the DELICACY, ENJOYABLE FOOD and OMIYAGE…
We have the best recommendations in this video such as SHOJIN-RYORI, A vegetarian Buddhist Cuisine. We even managed to stop by a local shop where you can have your OMIYAGE from KOYASAN locals.

To be perfectly honest I have never heard of Koyasan. And I am surprised I haven’t, because this place is absolutely breathtaking!! 😍I’ve lived in Japan for the past 6 years and probably under a huge rock 🤣 and am still at awe that there are many absolutely beautiful places that I have yet to find out about. So many hidden treasures!!
Thank you for sharing this video, because I now want to visit this place 😍 And a place that serves mostly vegan food is a rare place indeed, especially in Japan. I’m sure a lot of my vegan friends all over the world would love to visit.
By the way! The snow just makes everything so magical. I wonder how the place looks during other seasons? I bet it’s just 3 more reasons to come and visit! ❤️

You put a lot of effort and hard work for this wonderful video, thank you for bringing us in KOYASAN thru this work of art. I am not a fan of historical and sacred sites here in japan but this one is exceptional, also the snow and winter vibes makes me wanna go to this place. I can see that young kids can enjoy the place too. Hope we can visit someday 😍 FAITH AITHAN (supermoms jp)

P.S. ate tek wait ko nalang yung 3 dozen of peach mango pie with yum burger and famsize spag 😂🤣
Hello po momsh Like done na po. 🤗
Sobrang ganda po ng view lalo na po yung mga temples, then kelangan sumakay pa ng cable cars na way of transportation ng mga tao, kala ko pang sight seeing lng. Grabe sa daan ang kapal ng yelo, ang ganda ng mga puno. Nagustuhan ko rin habang ineexplain nyo isa-isa yung mga kinakaen nyo dun sa parang restaurant, para kung sakali makapunta rin kmi madaanan nmin🤗 and now lang po ako nakakita ng konyaku potato omoshiroi po lalo na kng panu gawin ng mga hapon. Talagang manu-mano parin. Over all I like your videos, well informed and tlagang napapakita nyo ang ganda ng iba pang mga tourist spots dito sa japan. ❤️

Watching this video makes me want to go to Koyasan tomorrow 🤩. But thanks for the effort of sharing your travel with us. I did enjoy it that I wanna also play with the snow & was curious of the taste of their foods. 😂 This side of Japan is indeed spectacular! To travel in places where there culture and beliefs are preserved and treasured. Hope we can travel more someday. -Juritz Cubelo

Magnifique ! Cela donne encore plus envie de visiter le Japon, même en hiver. Koyasan est un endroit fantastique à voir absolument. Merci pour cette super vidéo.
@Quel superbe périple sous la neige.Ce site enchanteur donne vraiment envie de visiter le Japon pour n'importe quel étranger car il respire la communion avec la nature et les principes essentiels de ce pays rempli de merveilles toutes aussi étonnantes les unes que les autres.
La visite du Japon est à l'Asie ce que la France est pour l'Europe…
God created the world so beautiful, with amazing nature. I believe there isn't any other planet more beautiful than our Mother Earth in the entire universe
Wow! The place is so beautiful, I really like the view, it makes me relax especially the snow thingy! Love the way u edit your video sissy & by the way you’re beautiful sissy! Hope I can go there too..

Great vid! From editing to cinematography, and the captions with details. Nice scenic views that captures the heart of Koyasan. I love that you tried the restaurant in the area. With explanation and details. For a foodie like me, it’s a great help. Thanks!

Ang ganda po ng lugar mom at ang pagka edit nyo❤️nakaka akit puntahan ang lugar☺️ – Hiroko Laxamana( supermoms jp)
Love Mt. Koya. I went there right before the pandemic, walked through to Kukai’s mausoleum alone in the early hours of the morning, that was an experience! Glad you got to see it under the snow!
Ah I'm dying to go to Koyasan!! Thanks for the lovely video and tips! Also loving the filming style! So awesome.
How beautiful to see it in the snow! Such an amazing experience! I can’t wait to visit too someday soon 😍
I can never get bored of watching the snowyscapes… Also, nasu looks great!!
Love the cinematic music, making this feel like watching a movie!! ❤️
I want to visit japan soon 😘 very amazing place made by our amazing God.
Que de bons souvenirs. Je ne suis jamais allé à Koyasan sous la neige mais ma randonnée (aller-retour) de la station de Koyaguchi à Daimon a été épique. Dix heures! Merci pour cette vidéo qui montre une façon alternative d'y accéder 😜. Je vois peu de touristes. Y a-t-il des restrictions sanitaire en place?
Extremely inspiring video as usually. I love your take on this iconic piece of Japanese culture. Bravo!
I lived in Koyasan and yet I feel like I'm seeing it in a completely different way. Such beautiful shots! Well done guys!
Beautiful Place <3
