    Koyasan was pleasant and fairly uncrowded when we visited on a weekday. However, I will offer this advice, especially if you're there on a busier day.

    The railroad suggests several "model courses" for seeing the sights in Koyasan. Most start by taking the bus from Koyasan station to Okunoin. If you like crowds, follow the model course, along with everyone else. If you don't like crowds, get off the bus from Koyasan station at Senjuin-bashi and change to the bus for Daimon. This way, you'll be moving in the opposite direction of most of the model courses, and avoiding most of the crowds.
