With due respect to those who have passed away and buried there - this place is mainly a cemetery - there are some temples built around but highly recommended not to visit there unless ofcourse it's personal family cemetery visit. We had a tough time to understand why it's rated 4.2 and even recommended by some to visit there. You pay 500yen at entrance basically to visit a cemetery. To me it's meaningless. I also don't understand why they don't point it out at time of ticket purchase.

Beautiful and quiet, with some cool history behind it. They have a nice little goshuin, too. Definitely worth the visit if you're in the are.

I always feel a lot of peaceful in every temple I visit in Japan. This temple's architecture is amazing. Starting to walk from the leftside you can gazed the graves. And check the writing on them is quite special and not really common according to my Japanese friend. The entry around 400¥ but is worth it!!! If you're around this area you should visit the temple and pray a little bit.
