How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
A temple in a forested valley with a great two-storey pagoda and a garden.
The real place
Negoro-ji was home to thousands of warrior monks who fought with matchlock guns. Toyotomi Hideyoshi destroyed it in 1585; the Daitō pagoda in the photo, from 1547, survived and is the largest wooden pagoda of its kind in Japan.
Visiting
The temple is quiet and spread out. Autumn colours in the valley are at their best in late November.
