"Tokugen-in Temple" in Maibara City is the family temple of the Kyogoku clan, powerful daimyo of northern Omi, where a stunning garden and historical silence are preserved. The beauty of the pond-stroll garden with a three-storied pagoda in the background is breathtaking, with seasonal colors vividly adorning the historic architecture. The sight of large Hokyo-into towers, the graves of generations of the Kyogoku family, silently conveys the dignity of Sengoku warlords and the weight of history. It's a sanctuary that authentic-minded travelers wishing to avoid overcrowded spots and quietly immerse themselves in traditional Japanese aesthetics and deep spirituality must visit.
