KoyaQuest app for iPhone and iPad

“KoyaQuest” is an interactive guide and game that visitors can enjoy while exploring the many fascinating sites of Japans Mt. Kōya.
---
Located in the mountains south of Kyoto, Mt. Kōya is home to an active monastic center founded more than 12 centuries ago for the study and practice of Esoteric Buddhism. As the headquarters of the Kōyasan sect of Shingon Buddhism and the resting place of its founder, it is one of the most sacred sites in Japan as well as one of the countrys most popular tourist destinations.
“KoyaQuest” was created to enrich each visitor’s experience by providing detailed and insightful descriptions of Mt. Kōya’s many unique sights. But it is much more than a guide. The app features 12 location-triggered “Challenges” and Bonus questions, each of which is tailored to a particular aspect of Mt. Kōya.
Some of these games test your powers of observation; some call for educated guesswork; some reward general knowledge; others put your video game skills to the test. (One will even bring you face to face with the ghost of a famous Japanese warlord!)
All of them will deepen your engagement with the compelling history and significance of Mt. Kōya!
These fun and informative games are suitable for all ages.
If you think you can earn the coveted title of “Wisdom King,” be sure to make “KoyaQuest” a part of your visit to one of Japans most unforgettable destinations!
Users who complete all 12 challenges are invited to share their accomplishment with others by posting their scores and rank on our leader board.
