Founded in 1691, Tokoji Temple stands quietly within lush woods east of downtown Hagi as an exceptional example of Obaku Zen Buddhist architecture. Beyond its dignified wooden gates lies the hauntingly beautiful burial ground of the Mori lords, flanked by hundreds of moss-draped stone lanterns donated by loyal retainers. Wandering the shaded mossy pathways offers an evocative journey into Japan's feudal past. It is an unmissable stop for travelers seeking both spiritual tranquility and profound samurai history.
