Train, cable car, bus. The journey to the top of Koyasan is such an amazing one. You take a train from the city and slowly watch it fade as you pass through smaller towns, then villages, then farms and finally countryside that then takes you up into the mountains. It’s a really beautiful train ride. I took this photo of the bus at the Koyasan cable car station right after being dropped off by it on my journey back to Kyoto after spending the night in a Buddhist temple here. Amazing!
