Kōkoku-Ji Temple, Tokyo, Japan

Really pretty temple that is very secluded away, there was only one other visitor we saw here (apart from a cat, who look thoroughly surprised to see me!).

The main reason we choose to come and see this one was that part of the temple there is a building lit by neon internally. Unfortunately, although we could figure out how to get into the building (first automatic doors in a temple!), we could not figure out how to turn the lights on - even with luke trying to program his name into a tablet in Japanese symbols.

Still, beautiful temple with the ornately crafted building work and spotless upkeep we have come to expect!Read more
