Description

This temple served as the mortuary for Ashikaga Yoshiakira and contains the grave of the Northern Court's Yoshiakira alongside the head-mound of the Southern Court's Kusunoki Masatsura.
The grounds feature a strolling garden, and in autumn the contrast of moss and red maples is truly stunning. Large cameras and tripods are not allowed.
