The main hall was covered with industrial netting, because they were repairing the building, so we could not see it. However, we were able to go inside to do our chanting and the altar was very nice.
This monk, the man in the conical hat, was wandering around the grounds, chanting sutras and talking to people. The woman in the picture later became friends with Ian and I but I will tell you about that in a later post. In the background you can see that a cherry tree is in blossom.
Two pilgrims were admiring the blossoms. I took their picture but we did no more than exchange greetings.
As with most temples, there were little buildings scattered around the grounds. They contained statues or other objects.
There was a large collection of little stone statues, most wearing hats and bibs.
