Konpukuji Temple

In the Genroku era the poet Basho visited the priest Tesshu here, and the hut where they talked was later restored by Yosa Buson. On the rise behind the main hall stand that hut, Buson's grave and his poem stones, which makes this something of a sacred site for haiku. It is also the temple where Murayama Takajo — the heroine of Funahashi Seiichi's A Life of Flowers and Morota Reiko's Not a Wicked Woman — ended her life, and her effects can be seen here.
