Kita-in （喜多院）　Temple, Kawagoe, Saitama Prefecture, Japan

Kita-in （喜多院)　temple is located in Kawagoe district in Saitama Prefecture, Japan. This temple is the main temple for people of Kawagoe.

Part of the Edo Castle has been moved into this temple precincts, including the birthplace (room) of Third Shogun of Japan "Iemitsu". There are many artificats that belonged to the Shogun's household like the paintings, in a museum in the temple precincts.

One of the most awe inspiring things in the temple precincts is the 500 statues of Rakan (Buddhas). Every statue is different in this set of Buddhas and you should definitely visit this temple to see it.

I have a separate video of the 500 Rakan in my youtube channel, please watch that video too.
