Travel Photography, Koyasan Temples and Graveyards, Wakayama, Japan.

A short trip from Osaka Koyasan is beautiful mountainous area of Japan. It is the centre of Shingon Buddhism which is one of the most important Buddhist sects in Japan and has a surviving lineage that spread from it’s origin in India, through China and arrived in Japan in 805AD. It’s a beautiful area to photograph temples in serene landscapes. I was in Koyasan photographing hotels and landscapes for an advertising client when I took a few hours the morning to photograph these images for myself.
