Small shrine

There are some tourist temples in Arashiyama such as Tenryuji but I prefer visiting small shrines like this Mikami Jinja.

Full bloom

Even vending machines were in full bloom at Arashiyama in Kyoto.

Bridge with a view of fresh verdure

Arashiyama in Kyoto is a pleasing place to enjoy the view of the river and fresh green leaves.

Simple lamp

This simple lamp was creating a tasteful atmosphere at the entrance of Rengeji Temple. Rengeji is just near famous Ninnaji Temple.

Historic beauty

Even a wall shows historic beauty at Ninnaji Temple.

Tranquillity

Although most famous temples have become Buddhist theme parks Ninnaji Temple seems to retain religious tranquillity.
