    This Buddhist temple is located right next to Ishijirogawa Beach on the east side of Shikinejima Island and is the island's only one.

Nagi (Asian bayberry) also grows wild on the grounds, and this is the northernmost limit for this plant which is mostly seen in Kyushu, Okinawa, and other warm areas. These plants have also accordingly been designated a Cultural Property and can be seen growing throughout the year.

The setting of countless iconic movie scenes and the inspiration for songs, poetry, and literature worldwide, Tokyo barely requires an introduction. It’s hard for the kaleidoscopic neon lights, wacky pop culture, and some of the world’s tallest structures not to instill excitement in any first-time visitor to Tokyo, whether you’re in the very center of the hustle and bustle in Shinjuku or Shibuya or looking in from the quieter suburbs.
