Shifukuji

 Following a path I came to a small shed with a bell tower behind it. The woman is carrying the umbrella to protect herself from the sun, not from rain (it was a beautiful hot day).
 A little farther along the path, I got a wonderful view of the bell tower.
 Eventually the path arrived at a long walkway with benches on each side. The main temple building was at he far end.
 Half way along the walkway, there was a small building with a statue of a Bodhisattva in front of it.
 Just before reaching the main building, the walkway was interrupted with a large stone lantern.
I looked in through the door of the main building and saw an incredible gold decoration  hanging from the ceiling.
