The day after our festivities, Ken and I took Steve and Keiko up to Akiha shrine north of Tenryu.
It is guarded by this dangerous looking cat, which looks a lot like Santa, much to Keiko's delight.
We walked up 5649 stairs or so and arrived at a very solid and pristine looking spot. On a clear day the view would surely be beautiful.
Ken sauntered up to the hand washing spot at the temple.
The real golden arches.
The shrine was very beautifully displayed front and center.
Extreme closeups are always great when someone is taking pictures.
Another view of the shrine.
Some interesting and beautiful plants in the courtyard.
Alas, it was time to head back down and Keiko headed back to home after a brief stay. Steve hung out for a few more days and we could enjoy New Years celebration together after a James Bond double-header at my place. Next time...
