Also, there is the Nankai-koya line that heads directly south from Namba station, and then there is a train line that goes to Wakayama City, southwest of Osaka. You want the former, not the latter... Wakayama City is along the coast, a good 75 minutes from Hashimoto and the Koya line, as you can see here:

I was actually in wakayama last year ( early spring), my friends and I went strawberry picking there. I wanted to go the the mountain area, but it was really raining all day we decided against it cause it might be so cold so we just went around the city looking for the best ramen house, before heading back to Osaka..

besides koya-san, I want to stay in the temple and join the monks in their early morning prayer, that would be interesting, then maybe visit shirahama after ..

yeah i sure will blog about it .. and of course pictures..
