Oushuu33Kannon Temples 6-7 Part 10


On the inland side to the peak, we found that at a lower level there was a graveyard and a road. This meant that the little red building and the bell tower must only be a part of the temple complex. Therefore, we started to explore more.
We circled the red temple and could see the gate again.
On the side of the peak opposite the bell tower, there was a small shrine. There were no signs and the doors were closed so we were unable to learn what it might be for, however, I am reasonably sure that there is a small statue inside.
Finally as we looked at the last part of the peak that we had not visited, we saw a thatched roof. This was obviously the rest of the temple complex. We expected that we would be able to find a priest to stamp our books for us, so we looked for a way down.
We found a narrow concrete staircase that brought us down to the road and after just a few paces we arrived at the entrance to the main temple and the priest's living quarters.
