Shrine and Temple

After yesterday's exertions, a very low key day today. We did however go for a drive off to a nearby Shinto shrine, and a Buddhist temple. The temple was particularly lovely, set at the head of a wooded valley. It is the one that Hiroko goes to when she feels the need to go to the temple. Hobbling a bit due to my leg, but managed to take some photos.

In the evening we watched a programme about the Ancient Egyptians, which was quite enjoyable even in Japanese.

Below the shrine, Hiroko translates another fortune, part of the Temple garden, and the face of the statue of a monk.
