Okunion Cemetery, Koyasan

Beautiful and haunting cemetery at the top of Mt. Koya. The train ride to get here is something. Creeping along a very steep slope way up above the river, then a funicular (cable car) straight up for about 20 minutes. But once you arrive one of the best sights is this cemetery which is in an ancient forest of huge cedar trees, some almost 200 feet tall and maybe 30-40 feet around. You've got to see this to believe it.
