Tokyo Pictures

A modern entrance to a very modern shrine in Tokyo. This hill had a lovely cluster of temples on top, but best of all, around the side there was a series of escalators to take you up in case you felt a little tired!
Another lovely shrine (this one a little more traditional). The Japanese make great use of wood and lanterns in these things. Which can be a drawback too. Most of the temples and castles in Japan are actually reconstructed having burnt down 4 or 5 times!
