Danjo Garan is a temple building built by Kobo Daishi (Kukai) as a training hall for Shingon Esoteric Buddhism.
Konpon Daito is a vermillion pagoda with a height of about 48.5 meters in the precincts of Kongobu-ji, the head temple of Koyasan Shingon sect of Buddhism.
The Konpon Daito is a symbolic building of Koyasan, built by Kobo Daishi Kukai as the main training hall for Shingon Esoteric Buddhism. Kukai called the Great Konpon Pagoda the 'Vairocana Hokai Taisei Pagoda,' and explained that it is a microcosm of the universe that embodies the truth of Dainichi Nyorai.

In addition, there are many attractions in the surrounding area, such as "Daimon" at the entrance of National Route 480, "Kongo Sanmaiin" behind Koyasan University, and "Tokugawa Family Mausoleum" on the north side of Kongobu-ji Temple.
