Higashiyama Walking Course and Temple Trail

Included are a few pictures of Daioji Temple, which has shrine dedicated to the Ten Gods of Hell. Paintings in the shrine are in some ways similar to European depictions of Hell, which I found quite interesting.

We didn't take as many pictures on the walk. I think we were flagging a bit as the trip was drawing to a close.Read more
