My first real walk - On to the Jakujyoji temple

 I left the shrine and started up into the hills. This is actually a rice paddy but someone is growing negi, green onions, here before the paddy is flooded for this year's crop.

 The water tank on the hill is interesting. It has a picture of the hills painted on it.

 This was the entrance to someone's home. Entering the house would be a very pleasant experience, as was walking passed it.

 At last after a long uphill walk, I reached the temple, Jakjyoji. Even from this distance, I could see that the grounds were well kept, which means they are supported by a large congregation or they have an independent source of funds.

The front gate was very impressive and I anticipated seeing a beautiful interior grounds.
