Stone lantern at the Buddhist temple Gōtokuji, Tokyo. The stone lantern is called a tōrō (灯籠). This particular style of pedestal lantern is known as a kasuga-dōrō (春日灯籠), and is one of the most common types found in Japan.
For most tourists Gōtokuji is quite a bit off compared to other famous sites in Tokyo - but it is still quite popular. After all they maintain the story of being the place that invented the beckoning cat - said to be inspired by a story of a monk's cat which saved the daimyo Ii Naotaka (1590-1659) from being hit by lightning by beckoning him into the temple.
But this temple is worth a visit for more than that (and I am saying this as a great cat lover). It is the largest historical site in Tokyo (according to the sign at the entrance - and I have no reason to doubt it). A temple has stood here since 1480, and Gōtokuji dates to 1655, with many of its existing buildings dating from the 17th century. The grounds are extensive and includes a cemetery for the Ii-family with traditional tombs. So that an Ii-family member was saved at this particular temple, according to the legend, might not be so very surprising since they obviously had strong ties to it.

I had some luck on this trip with the quick moving Japanese White-eye. I saw them very frequently just like the Northern Cardinals. They can be frustrating to shoot like Warblers here. I had good success with them finally! Click for large view :)

"The Shirakawa River (白川, Shirakawa) is a river in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. The river originates in the foothills of Mount Hiei on the outskirts of Kyoto, through the Geisha district of Gion and eventually ends up in the Kamo River.
Its name, which means "white river" in Japanese, probably refers to the white coloured sand and gravel that it carries from the hills east of Kyoto.
Many ochaya (geisha houses) and restaurants line the banks of the Shirakawa as it passes through the geisha district of Gion, in Kyoto."
