Okazaki Shrine and Temple, Kyoto, Japan

What a find! Luke took us to this shrine as its dedicated to rabbits, and fertility, but we managed to get a bit confused and went to the temple first.

We were the only ones there, and had to be let into the temple by a monk. The inside was amazing, so we weren't complaining, and then we were allowed into the gardens to wander around too. This was such a surreal experience! We had been in many gardens just as nice as this, but heaving with tourists, and now we were walking around by ourselves.

We then realised the shrine was next door, which had all of the rabbit imagery, so we headed there as well.

This was so adorable, but much busier than the temple. We spent far longer than we thought here as we loved exploring both areas.Leggi altro
