journey to Kyoto in 1572, where he was destined to be a Shogun.
This temple is also noted for the exquisite garden created by Muso
Kokushi, the high priest of the Samurai Age. Proceeding on to the
Chichibu National Park, you will ride the cable car up Mt. Kimpu,
the highest in the park, to the Shosenkyo Gorge formed along the
Arakawa River. Bring your camera so you can take pictures of the
