Basho Haiku Monument

The Utazuka (Basho Haiku Monument) at Kita-in Temple stands as a tribute to the renowned poet Matsuo Basho. It showcases his celebrated line: "The moon is the guide, come this way, says the traveler's lodging." This tranquil location beautifully combines Kawagoe's rich history with the elegance of classical Japanese literature.
