Danjo Garan (壇場伽藍)
Danjo Garan is one of the two most sacred sites in Koyasan. In the 9th century, Koyasan was founded on this very ground. At that time Kobo Daishi held a groundbreaking ceremony and then dedicated his life to the construction of Danjo Garan.
This sacred area consists of nearly twenty different structures including the magnificient Konpon Daito. If one can envision the entirety of Danjo Garan, the design of the area and its buildings combine to form an image that represents the Womb Realm Mandala.
