Returning to Koyasan, two decades later

A surreal return to Rengejo-in Temple in Koyasan with my wife and kids, nearly 20 years later, to the place that made me fall in love with Japan.

Walking the serene grounds, joining in early morning chanting, and evening meditations were transformative. Their multi-course, Buddhist vegetarian meals (Shōjin Ryōri) are delicious and beautiful. Easily one of my favorite places in the world.

Thank you, Rengejōin. Natsukashii
