Adashino Nenbutsui

Located in the demon gate direction of Sagano, Adashino is an ancient burial ground where countless souls found solace. Over a thousand stone Buddha statues stand in silent vigil, comforting the departed. Here one confronts how to face death—an inescapable destiny all must meet. The nenbutsu—the Buddha's name—resonates across the boundary between life and death. Adashino is not a fearful place but a sanctuary of profound compassion, offering final refuge to all beings.
