A few minutes' walk from Mishima-Hirokoji station, Rinkoji is an appealing neighbourhood temple, one of the largest and most interesting in the area. You walk over the little bridge, through the gate and past a welcoming committee of statues, and come to handsome wooden halls, a ginormous standing stone lantern and a small but attractive garden, with a tiny carp pond which I wouldn't have thought to look for had I not heard the trickling of the water.
