We went through the little gate and entered the temple grounds where we found a pagoda which will be hidden in the trees in a month or so.
We moved further into the grounds and discovered that there was a place where the pagoda dominated the view of Matsushima Bay in the background.
A short distance from the pagoda, was a strange looking tree that also dominated its share of the view.
This second picture of the tree shows a bit more of the landscaping. The pagoda is a couple of meters to the right of this picture.
Remaining in the same spot and rotating 180 degrees left me facing the meditation and chanting hall of the temple. It was very old looking, but we never were able to find out how old. The housing for the resident priest, the place where we would get our books stamped, was off to the left and connected to the hall through a covered passage.
