Thank you for the detailed guide. I was checking if it was possible to go to Koyasan with public transport for a person with disability (I use a rollator to walk). Looks like the only difficulty would be getting on and off the cable car because it stops on stairs.

Greetings Shiba-Shiba san, Awesome, thank you for sharing this video with details. I am visiting Wakayama this September and I am trying to structure my itinerary for 3 days in Wakayama. As there are alot of beauty spots to visit. Koyasan is on my list and I appreciate your video. I am wondering, if you can share a suggestion regarding best place to stay in Wakayama as I would like to visit the beach & eat tuna, onsen/hotspring, Oyunohara Otorii and walk in the forest. Arigato🌹
How about this hotel? www.candeohotels.com/en/wakayama/ It is located in front of Nankai Wakayamashi Station and many sightseeing spots are accessible from the hotel.
Thank you for the video- How long did each section of the journey take please? Also do you know if there is a charge or extra steps needed for bringing luggage (large back pack)? Thank you.
Hi! The time required for each section is as follows Namba Station → Hashimoto Station [express train about 50 minutes] Hashimoto Station → Gokurakubashi Station [local train about 50 minutes] Gokurakubashi Station → Koyasan Station [cable car about 5 min] Koyasan Station → Okunoin-mae [bus about 25 min] See 3:18 for details. On weekdays the trains bound for Hashimoto Station and Gokurakubashi Stationare not so crowded. No problem to place large luggage on the floor. If you have any other questions, do feel free to comment again.😊
Hi! Thank you for watching and the comment. I think the Koyasan World Heritage Pass is good as it saves more than 700 JPY. If you have any other questions, feel free to comment again.😊
Hi Shiba-San, Thanks for VDO. May you help me answer some questions? At 3.22 mins of your VDO, what's different for line 2 and 3. From picture, both are Rapid Express but the one in middle (=#2) seem to be direct and the lowest line (=#3) requires connection. Another question: after searching for some information, seem there are admission fee for visiting each places around the area. But i'm not sure if it means 1) we can walk around all the temples area without admission fee, and pay admission only if we want to visit INSIDE the hall (e.g. Kondo Hall, Daito Pagoda at the Garan and Kongobuji) OR 2) pay admission since outside when enter each places gate. (mean we cannot avoid paying admission fee, unless it's no sense to visit Koyasan area at all) Thanks
Hi! Thank you for the comment. Of course #2 is better than #3 since you don't have to change trains. However, #2 runs only early in the morning and most express trains runs like #3. 1) & 2) You can walk most of the temples without admission fee. In the places I visited in this video, I didn't pay any admission fee. If you have any other questions, do feel free to comment again.😊
Hi Shiba Shiba 😊We love to watch your videos 🎉 my girlfriend and I are going to visit Osaka in November. Your videos are amazing guide for us 😊 can you please let us know that permission for medicine pills? For example, can we bring simple painkillers for headache etc that are legal to use? Or all pills are forbidden to bring? We are confused about it 🥲 thank you, have a nice day 😊❤
Hello! Unfortunately, I do not know if you are allowed to bring your own medication. However, there are plenty of drugstores throughout Japan and less expensive headache painkillers are easily available.😊
@@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan For my girlfriend's sister,... she just wants all foreigners out of Japan,.. but,.. for me,... Taga in Shiga Prefecture is the most simple and beautiful place ...

Riding the limited express KOYA saves time and allows you to spend more time at Koyasan. If you have any questions, do feel free to comment again.😊

Hi Shiba-Shiba, the train is empty! Where are all the people?
Other passengers did not appear to be in the first car. Famous tourist destinations like Kyoto are very crowded, but Koyasan is not so crowded.
Were any of the trains late?
No. Trains ran on time.😊
If you have any further questions, feel free to comment again.
i wonder why so many people in suits when you are leaving? surely they aren't salarymen?
Hi! Thank you for the comment. Apparently there was a Buddhist study group, and the people in suits appeared to be its attendees.😊
For people who are not Buddhist,... to me,... it seems silly to go to Koyasan ...
Hi. Thank you for the comment. I see your point. Are there any places that you are interested in in Japan?
@@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan For my girlfriend's sister,... she just wants all foreigners out of Japan,.. but,.. for me,... Taga in Shiga Prefecture is the most simple and beautiful place ...
Taga is a nice place.😊⭐️
@@Shiba-Shiba_TrainsInJapan hmmm ... maybe not good to say but ... to me ... Taga is more sacred than Ise Jingu ...
