A giant statue of the guardian deity Jizo, 22 m in overall height, stands in Katsuragi Town on the slope of Mount Koya, in Wakayama Prefecture. Prayer Stones collected from over the world are enshrined at the foot of the statue. This Peace Statue facing north is praying intently with the spirit of the stones for a peaceful world every day.

This is the spot where Kobo Daishi found the vajra he had hurled to determine where to build a monastery, 1200 years ago. Around twenty beautiful temples and pagodas, including the bright vermillion "great pagoda," Konpon Daito, rebuilt in the 1930s and kept freshly painted. Early in the morning, there are monks chanting in the Kondo (the main pavilion) and the 'no entry' apparently only applies to tour groups, a monk nodded me in without any objection.
