Sonkoji, or at least I think that is the name.

 This appears to be another home for someone in the Zenin family. The family must be very rich because the landscaping requires constant, expensive care by professional gardeners.
 We finally found a temple. The sign says that it is Sonkoji, if my reading is correct.
 This seems to be the main building, the mediation hall with the main altar.
 This smaller building is off to the right. It may be for meditation or study.
 There was a large bell on a tall platform. We can probably hear this bell from our apartment when they ring it on New Year's Eve.
Next to the bell tower was another even smaller building.
