Discover the historical richness of Kanno-ji, the majestic Zen temple founded by Zen master Eisai in 1194. As the family temple of the Shimazu clan, this spiritual sanctuary boasts Nio statues and a serene graveyard, Gobyosha, where clan heads rest in eternal peace. Experience the peaceful ambiance as you stroll amidst vibrant hydrangeas and admire the timeless charm of ancient gravestones. Don't miss the magnificent ginkgo trees ablaze with autumnal hues, a sight to behold. Visit during autumn for a breathtaking foliage display and immerse yourself in centuries-old traditions at this cultural gem in Kagoshima.
