Three Shots of a Temple in Matsumoto

You don't actually have to go out of your way to see a Temple in Japan. I mean there are famous Temples in every city, I mean I've been to the one in Matsumoto, at the end of Frog street, it quite nice, but this is not it. No this is a Temple, like many of them are in a residential back street, If you are seeking it out, have some sort of map of temples then year you could seek it out I guess but that's not it point.

Much like a church in most places this is not for the tourists to come look at this is for the local community to utilise, there is a graveyard next door, and yes you can wander amongst the grey headstones, and yes there is amazing statues, and like a lot of Japan there is a beautiful formal garden so ordered, so green, so beautiful
