The path to Honen-in was marked with signs, undoubtably warning travellers that certain doom was ahead and to avoid the area at all costs. Undaunted, we marched onward up the modestly steep hill and well paved road.
Clearly a trap
Reaching the temple grounds, we were confronted by a horrifying immaculate and clearly marked cobble-stone path. The warm weather and temperate breeze did little to calm our nerves.
Not-quite murder stones
Along side the path were grave markers, no doubt the savage tally of others foolish enough to venture to deep. We wandered through the rows and rows of tombstones, reflecting on the path ahead of us. Though we could not read the strange pictographs on the headstones, we realized that these must be fallen adventurers. Adventurers, like ourselves, led like flies to the... GAH! Spider guardians!
Grave site
Spider guardians!
We fled the graveyard and ventured forth to the inner sanctum of Honen-in. There was no admission charge for the temple, and it featured several well laid-out (if short) walking paths, a small pond, and several buildings that were closed to the public. There were a few guests along side ourselves. The grounds were very tranquil and shaded, no doubt designed to lure victims into a false sense of security. After a brief tour of the grounds, we hastened away before certain doom could befall us. But not before snapping a few more pictures of the more sinister features.

Twisted trees? That's a sign of unequivocal evil
Evil red berries adorned the path
Well groomed paths are the sign of evil arborealists
Evil pond!
Macabre rain chain!
