Temples, temples and temples. Not as many as Laos, but I have been visiting some temples in Japan.
Zenko-ji Temple in Nagano is a National Treasure. It is home to a statue the Ikko-Sanzon, the first Buddhist image to arrive in Japan. However no one has ever seen it, although millions of visitors arrive every seven years to view a replica image.
This lion incense burner is in the foreground of the temple. People were rubbing the base of the burner and wafting the incense into their face and hair and over their body to ward off bad luck.
