By the wayside

I found this beautiful jizoson just around Byodoin Temple. A jizoson is an altar where Jizo [a Buddhist deity] is enshrined.

Blossoms at a temple garden

I took this picture at Byodoin Temple when the last cherry blossoms were blooming.

Byodoin Temple is a UNESCO World Heritage site in Uji which is a city of Ujicha [a famous green tea].

Exquisite work

Byodoin Temple must be one of the most exquisite architectural works in Japan. As the restoration of this temple was finished recently, it is now extremely beautiful.
