Unfortunately all of the other reviews are meant for Tofukuji Temple and not this small private cemetery. This is a very quiet and well maintained cemetery that is on the grounds of an old manor that is now owned by the temple. For anyone who mistakingly enters the cemetery section, please remember to show respect by not taking any photos.

Nice little temple if you like moss, otherwise no real highlight here.

I visited on December 2, 2008. A few minutes' walk from Tofukuji Hojo Garden, you will cross the wooden bridge corridor "Engetsu Bridge" over the valley "Sengyokukan". Stone statues of Nio are enshrined on the left and right of the gate. In the latter half of the Heian period, Kampaku and Fujiwara no Tadamichi built the eastern temple of the Imperial Palace here. The child of Tadamichi, Kanemi, was named "Tsukiwaden", a mountain cottage. The "Sokushuin" garden is the site of the "Tsukiwaden". The beauty of "autumn leaves and cedar moss" has a good reputation, and in winter you can see red and yellow "Senryo" fruits. This time, I visited the garden from inside the building. (The garden was off limits.) There were chairs in the building and I enjoyed the garden slowly.

A temple behind Tofukuji Hojo, right next to the national treasure Ryuginan. It tends to be hidden in Tofukuji Temple, which is famous for its autumn colors and is very crowded, but it also has a beautiful landscape. It's more like a small mansion than a temple, and it's more like a nostalgic Japanese house (the building isn't that old). This is the place where Atsushi Tensho-in, who became the regular room of Tokugawa Iesada, the 13th shogun, stayed for about a week when he put it in. Furthermore, in the Satsuma connection, Takamori Saigo used it for secret talks, and the monument he voluntarily left remains. There are no buildings left at that time, but it is a place where you can quietly look at the garden, take a walk, and relax.
