Kyoto (again 2.0)

– Shrines, and a Golden Temple

A small shrine. There were lots of little spots here, but the main one was for a spirit of music and song and performance.

This just lined a random street.
The details on some of the roofs are quite whimsical and pleasing.
A cat, inhabited by a nearby spirit perhaps?
A pleasing wooden wall.
The ‘lesser’ entryway to Kitano Tenman-gū Shrine.
Don’t tell this guy it’s the ‘lesser’ entrance.
Nor him.

Thousands of little prayer blocks, with handwritten prayers attached. I think this spot was particularly for getting good grades, or doing well in a test.

Taking a little break under a wooden shelter, we were surrounded with hundreds of painted panels like this.

Kinkaku-ji, the golden temple. It was packed with people, but we were still able to get some nice views.

A final shrine, on the way out from seeing the temple.

Hi, we’re Natalie and Jackson: a trans-continental couple who met in New York City in 2013 and haven’t been apart since. We got married in June 2015 and have been traveling around the world together.
