Reigando

Reviewed By shawnmA406XT

Reigando is an immense walk through Japanese history. It's importance cannot be understated, considering that it is not only where Musashi wrote A Book of Five Rings and The Path of Aloneness, and also where he passed away, but it is near the 14th century Buddhist temple Unganzenji. The entire area is steeped in history. It's beautiful. It's rather remote, tucked away in the Kumamoto countryside. It's not a typical tourist destination. However, the effort put into getting here is well worth it. I recommend trying to arrange visiting here and Musashizuka, Musashi's tomb (in Kumamoto City) on the same trip (I did both on the same day).
