The first temple on Koyasan

The rain hadn't subsided by the time we got here, and we were all soaked. So we spent a little time walking around the Dano Garan complex but didn't go inside.

Chumon Gate 
I always like the guardians


Kondo or main hall 

More guardians 


Konpon Daito

Also known as the Great Stupa




At this point we were soaked to the core so decided to go back and change and rest until dinner.



It was chilly, so I stopped at a cafe for some coffee and cake (and Internet)

After dinner a small group of us returned to see the complex lit up at night.








Thankfully, we didn't encounter any bears on our excursion!
