This is one of the posts that hold up the lintel I showed in the last post. This one has a large white sign on it that says that is the 12th location on the Oushuu 33 Kannon pilgrimage.
In front of the building was an old stone lantern. Like almost everything else at this temple it was old and had many chipped and broken places on it.
I took this picture of the altar inside the building by putting the camera up against a small hole in the door, which was locked. The large white sign that dominates the picture is attached to a paper lantern and says, wait for it, "Watch your head".
Further up the hill was another small building. It was just as old and dilapidated as the others. The flags on either side of the stairs were so old that they had turned gray.
Again I was able to take a picture through a hole in the door, but this time everything, except some small statues was behind closed doors. I think that the door in the middle may actually cover the statue of Kannon that is the center piece of this location.
