This is an map of the temple grounds of Kennin-ji.
Here is a shot of a gate looking out over the main building.
This is the interior of the main hall. The ceiling has a rather neat picture of two dragons, but the pictures didn't come out very well so I won't bother putting them up. But it was signed by Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi (the painting of the dragons that is).
This is part of the rock garden that is in the interior of the temple. While not as famous as Ryoanji, I think that this one was a tad nicer. Maybe it was the lack of people there that made it so pleasant.
I could be wrong, but I think that this is a screen of the god of Thunder and the god of Lightening. I'll double check in the future to make sure it's what I think it is. Either way it's a rather spectacular screen.
Who would have thought that inside the temple grounds there'd be a small little Shinto Shrine. I thought it was neat because it stuck out among the rest of the temple.
Here we see a shot of the main gate with the main building almost visible in the background. I wish I could have gotten a better shot, but I didn't.
Here is Yasaka Shrine (or so I think). In the day time everything was tacky and there were a bunch of vendors inside hawking their goods. Not a very scenic place to visit in the daytime.
This shot of Yasaka Shrine at night doesn't really do it justice, but it's definitely a nice place to visit at night.
Inside the shrine there are red lanterns everywhere and it makes for a rather picturesque sight. Now if only my camera had cooperated, I could have gotten a decent picture of these lanters and such.
