　Hydrangea and five story pagoda is tasteful view.　Huge plant (almost same height as human) at the inclined plane is awesome.

　This temple is one of the three Fudo temple in Kanto area and the family temple of Hijikata family. (Toshizo Hijikata, Vice Leader of Shinsengumi worked under Tokugawa Shogunate before the Meiji Restration).
