Night Removal Bell (Koyasan Daigaya)

Event Overview

It was opened by Kōhō Daishi Kōkai in the year of Hirohito 7 (816) with the royal charter of Kōyama Kōjō from Emperor Saga, and as the root dojo of Shingon Esoterism. The entire Kōyama area is the precinct of the Kōji Temple. Except for each of the 108 worries, I thank the Buddha for his merit and celebrate the New Year with a peaceful feeling. The bell of the night is available from 23:30 to Shiro Takano (the bell of the great pagoda) at the precinct of the mountain. Image courtesy: Sohonzan Kangoji Temple
