    This tombstones are along the walkway approaching Okunoin Temple, the most sacred spot at Koyasan in present day Wakayama Prefecture. Koyasan was founded by Kobo Daishi (also known as Kukai) in 816. The graves of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, his mother, his half-brother Hidenaga, and his wife are all there. Succeeding Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi prepared to attack Koyasan, but called it off at the urging of the high priest Mokujiki Ogo of Koyasan. After that, Hideyoshi became a devotee of the priest and worked for Koyasan's revival. Surrounded by large cedar trees and well maintained, the tombstones have been designated a Prefectural Historic Site.

Wakayama prefecture unites pilgrims, food lovers, and culture buffs in a tranquil corner of Japan at the base of the Kii Peninsula. The setting for many a Kumano Kodo pilgrimage trail, Wakayama invites those in search of spirituality from one side of the prefecture to the other, from the 100-plus Buddhist temples of the sacred Mount Koya in the west to the inspiring temples of the Kumano Sanzan set among breathtaking nature in the east. Once the grueling hike is complete, make a beeline for Wakayama city to savor some of the country’s most delicious ramen noodles.
