If you walk about 20 minutes further from the bamboo forest, you'll arrive in a different world: fewer tourists and tranquility. A very beautiful temple with 8,000 stone Buddhas, unfortunately, there are signs everywhere prohibiting what you're not allowed to do... probably from the many ignorant people who don't respect Japanese culture. The entrance fee is 500 yen, which is absolutely fine.

A place absolutely worth seeing, even outside of the tourist hotspots.

An impressive little temple. Rather unknown, it's a place to find peace and quiet.
