Sengaku-ji is a historic 17th-century Buddhist temple revered as the final resting place of the legendary 47 Ronin and their master, Asano Naganori. Immortalized in Japanese culture for their unyielding adherence to the Bushido samurai honor code, the loyal warriors' grave markers stand in solemn rows beneath peaceful, incense-scented grounds. Visitors can pay their respects at the gravesites, explore the on-site memorial museum, and experience a profound chapter of feudal Japanese history firsthand.
