Entrance fee to the temple cost 500 yen and it is closed from November to April. The scenery and atmosphere is very contrasting, very serene scenery with beautiful clear water and mountains surrounding the lake and yet you can smell the strong sulphur with all the statues of Jizo and all the stones, windmills written with deceased names piling around them. I wonder those souls that rest here, will there be brought into the next life or continue to stay here forever.

| I was wondering what are those wooden blocks were, some were written with names, some were not. |
 |
| Those with names turned out to be monks that passed away. |
