Azuchi castle was Nobunaga's stronghold. Honnoji is the site of his last battle. Mt Koya is the site of Shingon monasteries and the Okunoin sanctuary. Kukai or Kobo Daishi of the sanctuary is one of the founders of this sect who wrote the Lotus sutra. Also Nobunaga Oda, his loyal page Ranmaru, and other notables Shingen takeda, Mitsuhide Toyotomi, and Hideyoshi are also buried there. ***Miroku, monju, amida, kannon, hodou, heaven's drum, lotus king, fugen, are names of eight Shingon deities that reside on the Lotus mandala, known as as the Kongokai -"Form world") diamond Manadala. The ghosts of these deities are their illusions. The inside is the Sun Buddha Dainichi.
