KYA SANZAN ROUTE & WOMEN PILGRIMS ROUTE

To Hashimoto

Gokuraku Bridge

The route taken by women pilgrims to Kyasan has been compared to alotus flower because it traces a course through the encircling mountains stopping at each of the seven traditional entrances to the sacred precincts(Kya Nana-guchi). Present-day visitors can traverse this tranquil mountainpath and recall the days when devout women pilgrims, who were forbidden to enter into Kyasan, had to content themselves with only glimpses of its holy places.
