Lonely Planet review for Jizō-In

This delightful little temple could be called the ‘poor man’s Saihō-ji’. It’s only a few minutes’ walk south of Saihō-ji in the same atmospheric bamboo groves. While the temple does not boast any spectacular buildings or treasures, it has a nice moss garden and is almost completely ignored by tourists, making it a great place to sit and contemplate. From the parking lot near Saihō-ji, there is a small stone staircase that climbs to the road leading to Jizō-in (it helps to ask someone to point the way, as it’s not entirely clear).
