It was a pleasant 15-20 minutes walk from Shoin Shrine to Tokoji Temple. The Chinese-influenced Tokoji Temple is located in the compound after passing through the first beautiful red gate and the second imposing and intricate gate. Walking deeper into the temple compound, you will reach the graves of the odd-numbered Mori lords (The first and even-numbered lords are at the more out of the way Daishoin Temple. However, their graves are just as impressive) Upon reaching the graves which was in a serene wooded area, hundreds of beautiful traditional stone lanterns lined the paths to the graves. Really a magnificent sight.

Heike clan was defeated by Genji clan in the Kanmon Strait in 1185. Akama-jingu enshrines Emperor Antoku who died in the Kanmon Strait during the long battles between Genji and Heike. Heike clans' days were over at this final battle in this area. Present Emperor and Empress visited this shrine a few years ago. There is a traditional festival "Sentei-sai" in the shrine on the 3rd of May every year when you can see the elegant scene with traditional costumes. 日本語をつけないと受理されない方式になり困っています。海外の人にも読んでもらうために英語だけでは投稿できないのは納得できません。日本のトリップアドバイザーは鎖国化したようです。
