Reikado Hall (Hall of the Eternal Flame)

Highlight • Religious Site

Small area with temples and Buddha statues in interesting outifts ;-)
There is also the hall of the never-ending fire from which the fire is supposed to come from the Peace Park in Hiroshima.

The Buddhist monk Kūkai is believed to have held austerity for 100 days here in 806. The fire should not be extinguished since then. (Source: Wikipedia)
