Shoukaku-ji Temple
When Japanese folklore scholar Kunio Yanagida stayed here, he composed a haiku poem and had it inscribed on a haiku stone. Since then, this temple has become a mecca for haiku lovers and has some 220 haiku-engraved stones today. The temple is also known for its beautiful azaleas that descend down a hill like a cascading waterfall.
