Karikayado

Karikayado is a hall situated in the sacred grounds of Koyasan. It is known for the story of Karikaya Doshin, a samurai from the Heian period, who, together with his son Ishidoumaru, devoted themselves to the Buddhist path. As the stage for this touching narrative that speaks of the bonds between parent and child and devotion to Buddhism, it has been cherished by many people over the ages. In this place enveloped by the spiritual energy of Koyasan, one can deeply contemplate the bonds of family and the meaning of life. Those who pay their respects can once again feel the love between parent and child and the importance of family, and find peace of mind.
