A singular place, far removed from Arashiyama's busier tourist circuit. High on a hill, the Sagano area served as a cemetery where the bodies of the poor were sometimes thrown to the wind, without a proper burial. This prompted the monk Kūkai to create a Buddhist temple to save their souls. Over time, more than 8,000 small stone Buddhas have been planted in the grounds in memory of those who died alone and without family. Candles are lit in their honor every year on the night of August 23rd.
