Escape the crowds along this wooded path lined with a collection of jizō statues (the small stone effigies of the Buddhist protector of travellers and children). After passing the Shin-kyō bridge, follow the Daiya River west for about 1km, crossing another bridge near Jyoko-ji temple en route.
It's said that if you try to count the statues there and again on the way back you'll end up with a different number, hence the nickname 'Bake-jizō' (ghost jizō ).
