Koyasan suggestions

Hello,

When you say Okuno cemetary in night tour, is it organized through the hotel?

Otherwised, when I was there last April, it seemed life was extinguished at night in Koya-San.
Dinner is served fairly early, around 6.30pm.
We just chilled in our hotel room & hot baths.

I'd count at least 3 hours for the Okuno walk, if you don't want to rush it.
We actually walked from the city center to the Okuno, and took the bus back.
You could do it on the afternoon of the first day, I'd say.

I don't know if it is worth doing it twice in a row, but I'd at least do it in day time, yes, I guess you might miss interesting sights at night time, depending on how well it is lit.

The Danjo Garan complex will take you a couple hours.
Apart from that, you can just walk around town, as it is an interesting place to stroll around.
You can go to Maruman restaurant, we like it quite a bit. No frills and nice food.

Have a good time,
Tim

Thanks a lot!

Well, the night tour is not that long and they bring you to your temple by car (from 19.15 to 20.30). Not firmly decided anyway. It will depend on our energies but I agree that visit it twice the same day could be too much...
