Since Mt. Koya was awarded three stars in the Michelin Green Guide in 2009 and later registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it has attracted many visitors, including those from France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, in the American magazine National Geographic’s “20 Places to Visit in the World,” Mt. Koya was selected as the only destination in Japan. It is described as “mysterious, with a completely different sense of time from the floating world.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mt. Koya is a sky city that stretches across the highlands, with peaks over 1,000 meters.
We have prepared a new route that allows you to descend by helicopter to Mt. Koya, a sacred site that has been open for over 1,200 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
