Yanago region






The Daisen temple. Stairs. Always stairs!



The grounds extended up the hillside, with statues and buildings on the flats.



Gotta have an Inari fox!



And a cow!



And a bell! This one has the ringer log locked down so dumb tourists won't use it...



The lower temple.



Guarded by this fellow and a companion on the other side of the gateway!



The Daisen mountain in the distance. Very hike-able, and the approach makes use of the temple access path.
