In Gokurakubashi you change to the Cable Car, which goes to Koyasan Station. From there you can take a bus to Koyasan. At the cable car station, ask for "A Guide to Koyasan" (the English map of Mt Koya) and you will see Muryoko-in. It is about a 20 minute bus ride and the closest bus stop is Koyasan Keisatsumae Bus Stop (the Koyasan Police Station). From the bus stop you go straight to the next traffic light. There you go right and Muryoko-in is around 100 meters further on the left side.
