Still at the Kannon Altar

 This is the sign over the altar that identifies the two figures. According to my translations, the one on the right is the Holy Kannon and the one of the left is the Eleven faced Kannon.

 In front of the altar was  a bench and a very strange looking tree. The trunk was hollow and the tree was obviously very big in the past but all that remains alive now is a single branch.

You can tell you are in a farming area when garages contain things like this. These are onions, but many places will also hang daikon, the large Japanese radishes.
