Nyonin Koya, Murouji Temple

This is the head temple of the Murouji sect of the Shingon school. In contrast to Mt. Koya, which prohibited women, it welcomed them to visit, so it is called “Nyonin Koya”, which means Koya for women, and many women still visit here today.

In the early days, women weren't allowed to enter Mount Koya, but Murouji Temple made an exception. That's why it's called 'Nyonin Koya'—the Koya for women.
