The Most Intriguing Part of my Trip

Reviewed : 2016.11.17

Went to Ishikawa to visit a friend and she brought me to these hell caves. I would have to say that this was the most unexpected attraction I have come across in japan. The entire journey is said...
Especially worth it for the Mizuko room

The main interest here is the Mizuko room, with all the small Jizo, the many toys and clothes owned by the children. Quite eerie but worth it. The caves are quite hilarious- also worth it.
Not much to see

The head and shoulders of a Buddha and not much else. Seemed to be overpriced and the small shop at the car park also expensive. not worth the detour from main road.
