Okunoin Night Cemetery Tour

If you’re looking for something to do after dinner and aren’t afraid of ghosts, why not go for a walk in the cemetery? Ekoin Temple offers unique night tours of Okunoin  Cemetery in English, supplemented with the history of Koyasan, details of the monks’ lives, explanation of the tombs, and much more. If you’re lucky, you might get to run into flying squirrels or fireflies. Word of advice: confirm what time your temple closes its main gates before you leave for the tour!
