Mabase Shrine and Yakushido Temple

Mabase Shrine is an interesting site high on a hill. Isn’t that always the way?

To the right is a rough set of old steps. I chose to climb the newer, straighter steps.

At the top is a small shrine building. There are two lion creatures, which is normal. The interesting thing is that one has a ball and the other has a baby.

Looking through the building, I saw another big set of steps behind this building.

Looking down is the old rough steps.

I walked around the shrine building and up the steps.

According to google maps, the site at the top is Yakushido Temple.

This building is even smaller than the shrine below.

From the top, there was a nice view of Mt. Fuji.

I went down the stairs and on my way.
