The Toko-ji Temple truly transports you back into the time of the Samurai. Though each corner is indulged in the ancient Japanese culture, there are some traces of Chinese influence, such as the classic red entrance gate. Throughout the temple, many of the pathways are surrounded by tall trees, whether you’re walking through the courtyard, over small bridges, or through the gardens. It is in these gardens that five hundred stone structures that resemble lanterns mark five hundred graves of fallen soldiers.
