The famous Zentsuji temple was within biking distance of our home. On our day off we rode there to explore the temple grounds. This is called a Pagoda, which has five levels and usually not more than that.
Mike keepin' it real in front of one of the temple shrines.
This gate is a familiar sight in Japan. There is one at every temple.
There were at least 50 or more of these statues on the temple grounds. They represent important "gods." People would put yen on the statues in hopes of receiving blessings. We had fun trying to mimic their poses.

Zentsuji was also the location of A POW camp in WW2.
Goggle "Zentsuji P.O.W. Camp" on Google Maps for its location.
Next to the Camp was a temple.
Just have to say... I love your pictures. I spent a couple of months in Japan, mostly in Sakaide and I love reliving the memories.
