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