This rather unusual temple is where the abandoned bones of paupers and destitutes without kin were gathered.  More than 8,000 stone images are crammed into the temple grounds, dedicated to the repose of their spirits. This being Kyoto, of course you have to pay  to get into the temple.  (over $5 )  I love Kyoto. It is one of  my two or three favorite places on earth...If you can visit only one place in Japan go directly to Kyoto.  However, I don't  like it how you have  to pay to enter most of the  big  temples and shrines there!  The cost is usually about $5 to get into the temple. You often have to pay an additional $5 to visit the garden...and yet another $5 to enter the  temple's "treasure house ".  At the   fantastic Moss temple you have to pay $30 to enter the place !
