Built in 1562, this temple is famous for its Japanese garden planted with cycas. It is also known to have been at the centre of a diplomatic incident in 1868 between French sailors and samurai. A violent altercation led to the death of several Frenchmen, creating a political crisis. Japan paid compensation to the French state and ordered the samurai to commit seppuku (ritual suicide) at Myokoku Temple. Twenty samurai had to submit to it, but French officials, unable to bear the spectacle, asked the 12th samurai to stop.
