Rakan-ji

This touristy shrine is part of neighbouring Gohyakurakan, which contains 500 statues that were built to memorialise fallen silver-mine workers. Each statue shows a different expression – some smiling, some turning their head to chat to their neighbour. The collection was completed in 1766, after 25 years of work.
