MISTER KURO
Daiyuzan Saijoji Temple

The temple complex was one of the most impressive we’ve seen in Japan. Daiyuzan Saijo-ji is obscurely located in the mountain forests of Odawara's Hakone so it’s a really amazing peaceful place to spend the afternoon. We hiked to the temple from Daiyuzan town and it is a bit of climb but we did take a nice rewarding soak at the onsen close by after and took the onsen bus back to the town. There’s also an option to take the public bus there and back. Although it is still frequented by devout worshipers from all across Japan, it remains one of the less talked about magnificent places in Kanagawa Prefecture. #givethanks #givethanks
