Here, meanwhile, are three of our favorites: ENGYOJI KAIKAN: The Engyoji temple complex - located just outside Himeji, four hours by train from Tokyo - might be recognizable if you've seen The Last Samurai, scenes from which were filmed in the courtyard of its daikodo, or Great Hall. The rooms at Engyoji, tel: (81-79) 266 3240, are rather less grand but pleasant nonetheless, simply furnished with a futon and an urn of green tea.

The titles in this Criterion package are legendary: The Seven Samurai, The Hidden Fortress, Yojimbo and Sanjuro.
