Jinja and Shoga: Life in the Land of the Rising Sun

  Kongobuji is the head temple of Koyasan Shingon Buddhism. The entire area of Koyasan used to be known as Kongobuji, and there wasn't a temple by this name until 1869, when it was formed by combining 2 existing temples. The current Kongobuji is home to Japan's largest rock garden, the Banryutei.
