Yusanji

Ken was still passed right out, but Ritsy and I were having some fun, so we headed to our second destination, Yusanji temple- about 3 kms from Kasuisai.
At the front, we can see a stone etching of a couple of gods that look a lot like Ken. Maybe they are related?
There were two main areas to the temple. At the bottom section was this lucky stump. You can see that many people have stuck one yen coins into it for luck, but a rub would be enough for some good luck. Ken woke up long enough to give the stump a bit of a touch.
The courtyard of the bottom temple section had a lovely garden with a nice miniature pagoda and some of those little statues with red clothes. Quite a cozy feeling.
We continued on up to the higher temple. In the middle of the walk up was a nice Red building- we entered and could see this miniature waterfall...
I caught it at least, mother and baby were waiting for me. I thought it made quite a nice picture.
Finally we found ourselves at the top with a nice little temple...
And a three story pagoda.
It was actually a very beautiful winter day and a couple of great temples. On top of that, Ken was on his best behaviour. Of course in the car on the way home he realized he was pretty hungry and let us know- but that is to be expected.
