⛩Autumn Trip🍁Part 2 in Mt. Koya① Table of Contents & Full Series Links

I went on a mother-child trip with one of my children (my third and youngest child)🚅❕❕
It's the memorable year of the 1250th anniversary of Kukai's birth❣11 years and 4 years since some places were last open to the public, so I was super lucky✌
Plus, the second day, 11/4, was a lucky day🙆‍♀an auspicious day

This trip was a 2-day, fully packed trip specializing in 'Mt. Koya'.◎

I published this on Kindle~

【Wakayama Prefecture Mt. Koya: Sightseeing at Famous Places & Temple Lodging Experience &
Invited to an event at the Mt. Koya Tokyo Branch 4 months later (
incense, sutra copying,
monk fashion show, Goma prayer)
Special Experience】
Unveiling all purchased items including the 1250th anniversary commemorative goods for Kukai's birth

The appeal of a 2-day, 1-night trip is minimal luggage + easier to get family understanding💮

No matter how much I want to go... as someone with a family, I just can't go on trips like this👇... and,, the hurdle is too high❢

Following the first part, the second part was also blessed with clear skies☀peak autumn foliage and I was able to have a truly fulfilling trip🙌
The top image is also from this trip at a World Heritage spot🍁

This time, it's the table of contents🎉
