Koyasan

Thanks to the expert suggestions of wonderful EmilyStyle readers, Rob and I are booked for two nights at a Buddhist temple on Mt. Koya.

Our room will have traditional tatami mats, gold leaf screens and a private garden. The photos are so incredible, I'm addicted to looking them up online. Since we're going at the end of November, there may even be snow on the mountain!
