Grave of Takuan

Located in the Tokaiji Daisen Cemetery. It is a simple tomb that is like a Zen priest and consists of natural stones. However, every time you see it, you will always be reminded of Sawaishi. The entrance to the cemetery is on the west side of the guard, where Yamate-dori dives along the Keihin Tohoku Line and Tokaido Line. I went up the narrow slope along the railroad track and went up the stone steps on my left. If you go further along the railroad tracks without going up the stone steps, you will find Kamo Shingo's tomb. Both are national historic sites. At the back is Katsura Inoue's tomb, which is said to be the father of the railway. This is a railway memorial.

Sawaan Washo's tomb is like this! I was surprised with. It is a quiet and good place.
