The word for frog in Japanese is kaeru, which sounds exactly like the word meaning "to return safely," making the frog a symbol of good luck and safe travel. The temple grounds are packed with over 10,000 frog figurines and statues of all shapes and sizes. You will find them hidden in bushes, lining the pathways, and even dressed up in cute outfits.
