Back on the main island

So I ferried back to Honshu and worked my way up to Koyasan. Besides the ferry trips the only other thing that I really planned for my time here was to spend a few nights in a Buddhist monastery. Koyasan is the small town I chose to do that in, it's the center of Shingon Buddhism and a really peaceful little town on the top of Mt. Koya. I stayed in Muryokoin, woke up at 6 every morning to attend the meditation sessions and then had a typical Japanese breakfast before figuring out what to do with my day. The whole of Japan is slightly confused when you tell them you dont know where you're heading to next or how long your staying. The monk that checked me in and showed my around found it pretty amusing as well. So the idea was to figure out the world and my life and what I should do with it and all that but that only took about four days and five nights so I left early the fifth day.
