• Shintennoji Temple

    This is the oldest temple in Jpan dating back to the 6th century.  Obviously this has been rebuild many times throughout the ensuing centuries.

     

  • The guards..one with his mouth open and one with it closed...

  • This ended my photo taking in Osaka...we are off to Kyoto tomorrow.  For photography, I like Kyoto better. I have been there twice and we have always stayed in around the same place, so I am very comfortable going out shooting.   We are in Kyoto for three days before going to Tokyo.
