Ronin 47 - Akako Gishi at Sengakuji Temple, Tokyo

#2月好地方2025 I started to be interested in this story after watching the movie Ronin 47 a long time ago. The atmosphere on the scene is very solemn and quiet. After you pay the entrance fee, you will be given incense sticks to worship. Although times have changed, you can still feel the lingering spirit of loyalty. Next to the entrance is a well where the opponent's heads were washed after revenge. In front of the tomb are many incense sticks and sake left by worshippers. Some of them are replaced with milk by minors, which shows that this story is still very respected in Japan. Sengakuji Temple itself is actually not very big and you can walk around it quickly, but if you are interested in history, taking a walk here will really give you a deeper understanding of the legend of "Chushingura".
