Sculptured Stone in Honshū
A temple situated in the western outskirts of Kyōto. Adashino area was one of burial sites of Kyōto, in 1903 the priest of the temple dug out all the pagodas (=tombstones) and Buddhist statues from the underground of this area and placed in the precinct of the temple.
On 24 and 23 August, an illusionary candlelit ceremony is held. Photo-taking within the enclosure of the pagodas & statues is prohibited, to avoid the photo-takers jam.
The most mystic landscape in Kyōto.
