Only five minutes from Hasedera Temple, this Temple has stunning natural gardens filled with flowers and birds and offers a quiet break from the nearby crowds. The 200-year old Crab Apple Tree blossoms at the same time as Cherry trees and is just as beautiful. If you walk out past the cemetery you can also see an old dungeon, where 5 disciples of Nichiren were once held by the owner Mitsunori Yadoya who later converted to Nichiren from Zen.
Admission: ¥100
