How to get to Mout Koya (Koyasan) from Osaka?
Koyasan can be accessed by Nankai Railways from Osaka's Namba or Shin-Imamiya Stations. Take the Nankai Koya Line from either station to the Gokurakubashi terminal station. At Gokurakubashi, transfer to the cablecar which travels up the mountain to Koyasan. The ride takes about five minutes and costs 390 yen.
Mr Teddy and I purchased the Koyasan World Heritage Ticket to save money. The beauty of this ticket is that it provides a round trip to Mount Koya by Nankai Railway, unlimited travel on buses on Mount Koya and discounted admission to selected tourist attractions on up to two consecutive days.
Koyasan World Heritage Ticket:
Regular Version (from Namba or Shin-Imamiya) - 2,860 yen
Limited Express Version (from Namba or Shin-Imamiya) - 3,400 yen

You can to stay in the temple with the monk and experience their morning prayer and food. There are a lot for temple lodging available in Koyasan. We chosen Sekisho-in as it the cheaper. We chosen the Japanese style room with private toilet.
