Sengaku-​ji is a temple where you can pay your respects to the 47 Ronin.
If you’re a fan of this story (or even of Japanese History) it’s a great place to visit. When I was here there weren’t many people so I decided to pay my respects too and place incense on each of the graves. It’s about 100 yen for a small pack but considering there are at least 47 graves, you’ll have to split it up 2~3 per person or buy a second pack… If you know specific people you can even bring sake or candies to place on their grave sites as well! I saw kitkats on one…
This temple is very peaceful and quiet and is probably one of my favorite temples now that I’ve visited. If you don’t know the story, it might not be so interesting but think of it as a chance to learn more about Japanese history and research it prior to visiting!

The 47 Ronins who avenged their Shogun’s death. This place is a must see with deep history. All the Ronins and the Shogun family are laid to rest here. Really cool stuff!

C’est le temple où reposent les dépouilles des 47 ronins qui ont vengé la mort de leur maître et lavé l’honneur de leur clan.
C’est un lieu solennel et empli de respects. Pour comprendre pourquoi ce lieu est important, il faut connaître le Chushingura, le «conte des loyaux serviteurs» est un événement historique important dans la culture japonaise, ce temple est la relique et l’expression du Bushido, le code d’honneur des samouraï, qui régit encore la société nipponne.
Sur place, on y trouve des reliques des ronins (armes, tambours etc), la tombe des ronins ainsi que celle de leur maître. Il y a des échoppes où l’on peut trouver des goodies autour de l’événement (dont un super tableau hello kity représentant les 47 ronins (ah ces japonais).
Il faut aller dans ce temple le 14 décembre, il y a des défilés en costume à priori!

This temple is a very famous place in connection with 47 Ronin (四十七士、赤穂浪士).
So many people come here at any time.
There is a school near here, but its students seem so good-​tempered that they can not be obstacles of your seeing this temple quietly.
Though this temple is located near Sengakuji Station, it is big enough and so quiet that I can always be calm.
In this way, foreigners may also feel one feature of Japan.
Actually the station is convenience of access from Haneda airport and other big cities in Tokyo.
