#JP06 2006-04-07

Day 12 of my first Japan trip in 2006 was spent in the Higashiyama area of Kyoto. I went to Kiyomizu-dera at 6:30 AM, then explored more temples including Kodaiji and Nanzenji, with cherry blossoms still going strong.

Hello from Tokyo! Weather isn't that great today, but the cherry blossoms have started to open. 🌸

Here is a photo I just rediscovered and am publishing for the first time, taken on my first Japan trip in 2006. Entering Enmyoji Temple in Inuyama, Aichi Prefecture.

Happy weekend from Tokyo!

Made a brief visit to the local temple (南蔵院/Nanzōin) this morning, and could feel some positive energy flowing.

Hello from Japan! Going through a bit of a busy stretch, but trying to relax with a set of purification fountains at temples and shrines in the Tokyo area. Often, the faucets are dragon-shaped, and it is thought that using ‘water that flows from the dragon god's mouth’ enhances the cleansing effect.

Takasaki Byakue Dai-Kannon is a 41.8 meters-tall Kannon statue at Jigen-in Temple in Takasaki, Gunma Prefecture. Approaching it is a long lane lined with Showa-era gift shops and restaurants.

Spent some time in Ochanomizu and Yushima today. Autumn colors were already nice around Yushima Seido and in adjacent areas. See ALT texts.
