Japan Adventure

We've gotten through the crowds at the station (there must be a better way on bicycles!) and are heading for the temple, when we see our first deer. We've arrived later than we planned because of heavy traffic on Hwy 2! Train is a much better way to come, but then I can't take my bike & my bad knee won't stand for all the required walking.


Beautiful little girl dressed up today.


And another one, having a snack.


Beautiful yellow ginko tree as we approach Daishoin Temple, where the firewalking ceremony is taking place today.


Ginko leaves on the stone steps.
