Karukayado Hall
Long ago, Karukaya Doshin and Ishido-maru studied and trained in this hall for 40 years. Jizo-statues of father and the son are enshrined inside the hall. The story of Karukaya Doshin and Ishido-maru was carved and placed on the wall. The story is that Ishido-maru started on a journey with his mother to meet his father, then a monk named Karukaya Doshin. They made it all the way to Koyasan, but his mother was not allowed to enter because of the strict rule that prohibited women from entering Koyasan. So Ishido-maru took his mother to an inn in Kamuro and went back to Koyasan by himself. While waiting for Ishido-maru to return, his mother became very sick and died. Unknown to Ishido-maru at the time, his mother's death had made him an orphan. Ishido-maru continued walking toward Koyasan to meet his father. Once he arrived in Koyasan, his father would not admit that Ishido-maru was his own son. However, they understood each other and had begun to train and practice together in Koyasan. This sad story of Karukaya Doshin and Ishido-maru is one of the more famous legends about Koyasan.
