Japan Adventure

Japanese garden near the entrance to the walkway up to the shrine. I LOVE Japanese gardens & would like to have one when (and if!) I grow up.


Looking back at the torii gate where the hillside walkway begins. "Even the longest journey begins with a single step."


Flower box with cabbage roses near where we parked our bicycles.




Stan's ready to go find some lunch! (we've earned it) He said he actually counted only about 220-something stairs, so I really think 1200 would be actual steps taken, but not sure from where. Even round-trip it's not enough. We'll have to ask someone about that . . .
