How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
Kanteibyo Mausoleum is a landmark in Yokohama's Motomachi area in Rise of the Ronin, a red Chinese temple lit with lanterns under a starry sky. PlayStation's official look at the game names it as the grand temple at the heart of the foreign settlement's Chinatown.
The real place
Kanteibyō is dedicated to Guan Yu, a hero of ancient China worshipped as a god of loyalty and business. Chinese settlers founded it in 1862, soon after Yokohama opened to foreign trade. It was destroyed by the Great Kantō Earthquake of 1923 and again in the Second World War, and the ornate temple standing today is the fourth, finished in 1990.
Visiting
Kanteibyō is in the middle of Yokohama Chinatown, a few minutes' walk from Motomachi-Chūkagai station. Visit after dark, when the temple and the Chinatown gates are lit, and combine it with a walk to Yamashita Park on the waterfront.
