History

Kinpukuji, located in Isshuji, is a venerable temple once visited by the legendary haiku master Basho. This historic sanctuary has long been regarded as a place of academic achievement and spiritual refinement. During autumn, visitors find themselves inspired by the temple's natural beauty, much as Basho himself found poetic inspiration within its grounds.
