The grounds around the Naritasan Shinsho-ji Temple form a beautiful park with many walking paths for quiet meditation. Creeks flow down the hillside, around picturesque rock outcroppings, to a koi filled pond. You can even purchase fish food to feed the many multicolored koi while enjoying your own lunch in a shoreline kiosk.
