The main temple on Mount Koya (Koyasan), one of Japan's most important Buddhist centers, has urged summer visitors to avoid wearing revealing clothing when visiting the sacred site.
According to a statement from the temple, attire that lacks modesty—especially short, thin, or off-shoulder garments—may be inappropriate and offensive in the solemn space. The temple hopes visitors will respect local traditions and culture by choosing modest, polite clothing.
Mount Koya is a leading cultural and spiritual heritage site in Japan, attracting a large number of domestic and international visitors each year. In summer, the number of visitors surges, prompting the temple to issue this reminder to maintain the dignified atmosphere of the Buddhist sanctuary.
