    Visitors to sacred Mt. Koya can engage in a variety of esoteric Shingon practices, such as copying sutras and being instructed in the precepts of Buddhism. Sutra copying can be conducted after learning how it is performed. First, participants rinse their mouths, after which they light incense and perform a ceremony before copying the Heart Sutra. Sutra copying costs 1,000 yen and may be dedicated to someone. Being instructed in the precepts requires a 500-yen entry fee. During the instruction in the sutras, visitors listen to the 10 Bodhisattva Precepts in a pitch dark temple hall. Both sutra copying and instruction in the precepts may be participated in with a same-day reservation.

    This is a big hall where many people can come together to worship the founder of Shogun Buddhism in Japan and of Koyasan,Kobo Daishi Kukai (774-834)

    This facility holds workshops for making Buddhist rosaries modeled on the heart-soothing beaded bracelets at sacred Koyasan. To reach it, take a bus to the Tamagawa-Dori stop. It's about 2 minutes on foot from there. In about two hours you can make your own one-of-a-kind Koyakoboku Kikon rosary with polished beads of Japanese cedar from Koyasan. The process of making the rosary in the calm environment gives you a chance to look inside as well, refining your heart and soul. Reservations are required by the day before at the latest.
