Scaring enemies away

This is a Nio statue at Hoshakuji Temple. I was saddened to see how badly it was damaged.

Autumn splendour

I enjoyed glorious autumn colours at the gate of Hoshakuji Temple.

This is a three-storey pagoda of Hoshakuji Temple. The temple is located just near the border of Osaka and Kyoto.

Going in the valley

A charming tourist train of Sagano Railway was running in a scenic valley.

Going along the river

This sweet tourist train is operated by Sagano Railway between Arashiyama and Kameoka.

Going over the valley

This sturdy rail bridge spans Hozukyo Valley near Arashiyama. It's surprising the bridge works as a station as well.

Going down the river

Hozukyo is a valley famous for boating. It is close to Arashiyama.

The river at dusk

The boats were resting on the river as the dusk deepened at Arashiyama.
