Dear visitor, if you know the answer to this question, please post it. Thank you! Anyone ever been to Kanbodaiji Temple? 2009/6/11 Iga I hope I got the name right. Unfortunately, I'm in no position to actually visit Japan myself, and particularly Shimagahara, at this time of year. I haven't seen much come back in the way of Google results for this temple, either, so to anyone who has visited, what can one generally expect? Also... is Shimagahara a tourist-friendly destination for people fond of contemporary Japan, or is it better described as a village that's quiet, and a little tucked away? Just curious. Pardon my ignorance, and thank you very much for the help! by M (guest)   ... 2009/6/12 Sorry. I have not visited at Shimagahara ever though I have visited near place a few times. Any way, I suppose the place is rural area, and is quiet probably. You can go there through this route. Get off a train at Shimagahara station and walk 15 minutes. http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e4353.html And map from Shimagahara station to Kanbodaiji temple. http://www.mapfan.com/m.cgi?MAP=E136.03.18.1N34.46.38.8... The train is nostalgic and tiny, and runs through deep and green valley. I hope someone who has visited at there will post exact and detailed comment. However, if you need brief information (about history, sect and statue) that was written on these websites I will post again. http://shimagahara.igaueno.net/midokoro/kanbo.html http://www.kankomie.or.jp/db/result.php?id=3070 by jtomi (guest) rate this post as useful . 2009/6/12 Thanks so much for the links! By the way, that train ride sounds amazing. by M (guest) rate this post as useful
