[Wakayama] The end of the sky🚉 The entrance to Mount Koya, the photogenic station on the border between the secular world and the mountain📸 *Recommended access points included

The station, which can be said to be the entrance to the world heritage site Mount Koya, which was founded by Kukai, who everyone has heard of, 1200 years ago, was shining brightly! ️This time, I would like to introduce Gokurakubashi Station, the last stop on the Nankai Electric Railway, which is used to access Mount Koya. This station is now known as "Gokurakubashi, the sacred place of beginnings." Many people use this station to visit Mount Koya. The station building at Gokurakubashi Station is very beautifully decorated. ✨The first thing you see when you get off is the ceiling painting on the cover. 🖼️The theme is "the beginning of life," and it depicts birds of paradise and plants and animals associated with Mount Koya. 🕊️ To get to Mount Koya, transfer to the cable car next door. 🚠 The one over there When you go to the platform, there are ceiling paintings with a red base, and since there was a custom of decorating paper cutouts called "Hourai" in Koyasan, the ceiling paintings are decorated with various lucky objects such as birds of paradise and the zodiac animals with this Hourai as a motif 🖼️ There is a piece of paper called "gankakeba" that imitates the wings of the bird of paradise, and you can write your wishes on it and hang it up 🪶🖋️ The ceiling of the cable car is also decorated with pictures of birds of paradise and Hourai, so don't miss it when you ride 👀 [We recommend going to Koyasan from Osaka! ] Koyasan is located in Wakayama, but in terms of access, it's best to go from Osaka! Depending on the time, you can go from Namba Station on the Nankai Line to Gokurakubashi Station in one train without changing trains 😍 So, when you're sightseeing at Koyasan, we recommend adding an extra day to your Osaka sightseeing trip 😄 That's it! How about it! If you are going to visit Mount Koya, please enjoy the station as well 😄 ~ ...
