Entering Gokoku-ji

Entering the temple grounds at the Shingon Buddhist temple Gokoku-ji in Tokyo. The temple dates back to 1681 and is quite uncommon in Tokyo to have survived up to the present day - through the Meiji restoration, the big Kanto earthquake and the World War II bombings.

 

It really is a quite lovely place to walk around, well worth a visit (just remove your shoes before entering the main hall and put your camera away - but just there).
