More Interesting Things In Yui

After lunch and the museum, we still had other things to see in Yui.  


This little Inari Shrine is in the parking lot, near the JAshimizuyuishitenmae bus stop.









Temple











Looking down a side street, we could see the Torii Gate, so decided we needed to take a look.



Toyosumi-jinga Shrine.  This place turned out to be a shrine in a shrine in a shrine.

















Do you see the little foxes?




In the back of the other shrines, the red torii.



You can see the big shrine tree in the back, with the white hanging down.






Jiji-in Temple










In Japan, houses are built close together without much space between them. This house is barely wider than a car.



Kitano Shrine - we walked up 74 steps from the main street to the top.






From the top we could see to the sea.



And, of course, what goes up must go down.



What a great day!

It seems you need strong legs to visit many of the shrines!

I would say you got good exercise on that day, and saw a lot of interesting things. Some temples are getting a modern touch with solar panels on the roof of the restrooms and deckchairs to relax in!
I wonder how many family members shared that narrow house.

Great finds! It can be fun to just walk around and explore.

What a fascinating spot! I love the red torii but the temples, the natural beauty, all the little features are really special. What a terrific day!
