Reigando is a very historical and mysterious cave located in the premises of Unganzenji Temple, and is known globally as the place where the master swordsman Miyamoto Musashi spent his later years and wrote the famous military strategy book "The Book of Five Rings." The steepness of the rock surface and the silence surrounding it convey the tension and deep thought air of the time when Musashi once sat in Zen and sharpened his mind and body. When you enter the cave, you are wrapped in a mysterious sensation as if the flow of time has stopped, and visiting travelers can touch Musashi's spiritual world deeply. For intellectual travelers who wish to understand the Samurai Spirit of Japan deeply, it is an unforgettable power spot where the soul trembles.
