The ruins of Minami-in Temple

Between "Kita-in" and "Naka-in", two famous temples in Kawagoe, there is a corner where Jizo statues and gravestones are lined up haphazardly.
These are the ruins of Minami-in.

However, due to the abolition of Buddhism in the Meiji period (1868-1912), Minami-in was closed down.
