Probably experienced our most relaxing day of our holiday so far today. Since we’re staying in a temple in Koyasan, we adhere to the rules of the place which includes waking up at 7am to have breakfast with the staff and other guests. Now, I’m not the best morning person you will ever meet, so it was somewhat of a challenge for me to get going today but hey: I’m not complaining. The experience of staying here has been magnificent and, equally as important: a very chill one, too. All I really did today was casually stroll through Koyasan a bit, including a spooky night time walk towards the infamous Okunoin which was pretty epic, and zone out on my futon. A total zen-experience. Definitely something all of us needed after an eventful few weeks. After a flaming hot bath, I’m now prepping myself for my final sleep here in the Hoon-in temple before getting back on the road tomorrow. There’s plenty more stuff we need to see!
