So, finaly I have some time to begin my blog. We have been very busy and tired travelling around Japan and we didn:t have internet access everywhere. In four days we saw Koyasan , Hiroshima and Miyajima, but first how our journey's begun.It is our third time to Japan. This time we came to enjoy fall leaves aka koyoo.
This was our plane
Waiting at the Schiphol Airport Santa style
Our meal was catered by the Okura hotel in Amsterdam
We had chicken curry, it was yummy
And soba noodles
And the breakfast
Approaching Kansai Airport in Osaka
Our flight took 10,5 hours...
We arrived at 9:30 and after 1 hrs of passport and bagage check we were free to go!
We were heading to Koyasan, the holy mountain of Kobo Daishi, I wanted to buy the World Heritage ticket for Koyasan which is valid for two days for the roundtrip journey to and from Koyasan, the Nankai busses and discount at Koyasan, but nobody seemed to know what I want and they were sending us from one ticket window to another, finally somebody was able to help us and we got our ticket, The journey to Koyasan could start, it took us 4 hrs to get there, pfff...
We had to take a train from the airport to Tengachaya station, there change to Koya line to Gokurakubashi, it took forever but it was a very scenic route, there were few people in the train. The last part from Gokurakubashi to the top of Koyasan was with the cable car.
I forgot to mention that we had a pretty heavy bag with us....It wasn``t that easy to carry it around...
The cablecar
Koyasan station
The Nankai bus.
That's all for now, we have to do some laundry. Next post will be about the Koyasan.
