Nyonin-michi
"This temple approach is located in Koyasan, Koya Town, Ito County. This is the road used by female worshipers to visit Mt. Koya, which was off-limits to women until 1872. It is said that women would go around the mountain in order to visit and pay their respects at the mausoleum of the Buddhist monk Kukai following the women-only halls called Nyonindo. The road is one of the components of the ""Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range"" UNESCO World Heritage Site."
