# Daikakuji Temple

Osawa Pond is where the time goes. The pond is about 1 km around, with more than 20 stone Buddhas along its north bank. The pond's edge is a restful walk, as a family with children aged 7 to 12 found in April 2019. In the halls, the Murasame Corridor, which links two of them, has a low ceiling and a floor that chirps underfoot. Outside the cherry and autumn-leaf seasons, visitors are usually few, so the grounds feel roomy.
