In the game
A temple with a main hall and three-storey pagoda in the Hidaka valley.
The real place
Dōjō-ji, founded in 701, is the oldest temple in Wakayama Prefecture. It is famous for the legend of Anchin and Kiyohime, in which a woman turns into a serpent and burns a monk hiding under the temple bell, a story retold in Noh and Kabuki.
Visiting
The temple is a 15-minute walk from Dōjōji station. The monks tell the legend with picture scrolls several times a day.
