Jissoji Temple

This temple was built by Emperor Toba in 1145. Nichiren, the founder of the Nichiren sect of Buddhism, stayed at this temple. There are many many steps at this temple.































Going down was faster than going up!

What a fantastic temple! Not only all those steps but the stone geta. Are they ornamental or can they actually be worn, if so by whom?

There is splenty of evidence that this rainy season has been one of the most humid - look at all the moss growing everywhere.

I like pictures of steps, I like looking at them much more than my knees like me walking up or down them.

So many steps! I hope no one is expected to wear those stone sandals while climbing them...
