The cemetary is a very interesting experience. Amazing density of tombstones (over 200,000, actually) in just a couple of square miles, maybe less. The art work on the tombs was varied, but with certain themes recurring.

There’s an audio-guide available at the local toursit office. We didn’t get it, but in hind sight we should have.

Returning to the cemetary at night is also neat, as the ancient lanterns are all light up along the pathway. Sadly, some very modern flourescent lights are also there, spoiling the dark serenity. Still, I’m glad we walked the path again that night. By now, the rain had stopped and the walk was nice.

The meal at Shojoshin-in had some different dishes, and was again delicious.

The town of Koya is nice to stroll around in, too. There are a few other tourist attractions to see.
