Dokoji Temple, located in Nagatoro, Saitama, is easily accessible from Hanyazono IC via a 20-minute drive. This temple is known as one of the Nagatoro Autumn Seven Herbs Temples, famous for its pampas grass (obana). While the main hall is a typical temple structure, the grounds feature beautiful weeping cherry blossoms in spring. Visitors can also see the "Makoto no Kane" (Bell of Sincerity). The temple is a peaceful spot, especially during the off-season, offering a serene atmosphere for a short visit. Don't miss the opportunity to get a Goshuin stamp from Nagatoro's Seven Herbs Temple at the main hall's office.
