Jikoji Temple
Yashima, Yukanishi, the village where the fallen of the Heike, who was defeated by Genji in the battle of Nonoura, fled and went into hiding. This settlement still has its own customs of the fallen people who lived away from the eyes. Jikoji, located on a hill overlooking the settlement, is known as Heike Rakujin's Bodhi-ji, and anecdotes still say that the Rakujin came to visit the shrine in an attempt to give him a child treasure.
