Mount Kōya (高野山, Kōya-san) is the name of mountains in Wakayama Prefecture to the south of Osaka. Also, Kōya-san is a modifying word for Kongōbu-ji (金剛峯寺). There is no mountain officially called Kōya-san (高野山) in Japan.
First settled in 819 by the monk Kūkai, Mt. Kōya is primarily known as the world headquarters of the Kōyasan Shingon sect of Japanese Buddhism. Located in an 800 m high valley amid the eight peaks of the mountain (which was the reason this location was selected, in that the terrain is supposed to resemble a lotus plant), the original monastery has grown into the town of Kōya, featuring a university dedicated to religious studies and 120 temples, many of which offer lodging to pilgrims. The mountain is home to the following famous sites:
GREEN IS THE COLOR OF ENVY I ENVY EVERYTHING THATS NOT GREEN
GOT A FOUR LEAF CLOVER IN MY POCKET CAUSE TONIGHT I'M GETTING LUCKY
I NEVER WAS A STRAIGHT AA STUDENT
SO FROM THIS BAR STOOL I AIN'T MOVING
RAISE YOUR GLASS
HERE'S A TOAST TO DRINK LIKE A FISH
AND IF ANYONE ASKS
ABOUT TONIGHT YOU CAN PLEAD THE FIFTH
I JUST WANNA SAY THAT TODAY'S MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY
THAT'S BECAUSE I LIVE LIKE EVERY DAY IS ST. PATRICK'S DAY
I FEEL LIKE A TERRORIST FROM ALL THE IRISH CAR BOMBS
DRUNK OFF GREEN BEER AND BAILEYS SINGING KARAOKE ALL NIGHT LONG
A LEPRECHAUN JUST BOUGHT ME A SHOT OF WHISKEY
AND THE GIRL WITH THE LONG CURLY HAIR JUST WALKED UP AND KISSED ME
SO RAISE YOUR GLASS
HERE'S A TOAST TO DRINK LIKE A FISH
AND IF ANYONE ASKS
ABOUT TONIGHT YOU CAN PLEAD THE FIFTH
I JUST WANNA SAY THAT TODAY IS MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY
THAT'S BECAUSE I LIVE LIKE EVERY DAY IS ST. PATRICK'S DAY
MAY THE WIND ALWAYS BE RIGHT AT YOUR FEET
MAY YOU NEVER LIE, STEAL, CHEAT OR DRINK
AND IF YOU'RE GONNA LIE, LIE IN EACH OTHER'S ARMS
IF YOU'RE GONNA STEAL, STEAL EACH OTHER'S HEARTS
AND IF YOU'RE GONNA CHEAT, THEN CHEAT DEATH
AND IF YOU'RE GONNA DRINK, THEN DRINK TO THAT
RAISE YOUR GLASS
HERE'S A TOAST TO DRINK LIKE A FISH
AND IF ANYONE ASKS
ABOUT TONIGHT YOU CAN PLEAD THE FIFTH
I JUST WANNA SAY THAT TODAY'S MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY
THAT'S BECAUSE I LIVE LIKE EVERY DAY IS ST. PATRICK'S DAY
