Sengakuji Temple

Tokyo @ Shinagawa - Further down the road about 30 minutes there is a Sengakuji Temple.  This temple is known as the burial ground of the Forty-Seven Ronin (in feudal Japan he is a wandering samurai who had no lord or master).   You can read about the true heroes of 47 samurai that took revenge for Asano.   This was made famous by the 2013 movie 47 Ronin acted by Keanu Reeves.
