What travelers say:
Benguang Temple is much smaller than I imagined. I always thought it was a big temple when I saw the pictures taken by others. When I saw the stone tablets in the wall, I thought I had to raise my camera very high to take pictures. As a result, the wall only reached my chest. It was so miniature.

Honko-ji Temple Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Hongko-ji Temple is very small, and it is the place where Taro Ito, the guardian of the imperial mausoleum sent by King Qin, died. Ito Koshitaro once led a group of former Shinsengumi members to leave the Shinsengumi, but was later purged by the Shinsengumi attack. Inside the temple, there is a stone that Ito is leaning against, and next to it stands the words "The place where Koshitaro Ito ends."

In Kyoto, Japan, there are such small temples everywhere, exquisite traditions like them very much.
Japanese temples have a long history. Or can we turn around?
It's worth it. Kyoto is a beautiful place. like
The truth of the new group is not so romantic. Assassinations, attacks and infighting dominate. Look at the ducks, Shannan and Edong.
