Takao Kanko Hotel, Kyoto, Japan

Visiting Jingoji Temple in the Takao (高雄) area north of central Kyoto, Japan, the approach passes the Takao Kanko Hotel, which boasts a scenic and quiet location in the forest along the Kiyotaki River.

Zenkōji Temple (善光寺) in Nagano was founded in the 7th century and stores the first Buddhist statue ever to be brought into Japan. The original statue is hidden, while a copy of it is shown to the public every six years for a few weeks, during an event called 'Zenkoji Gokaicho' (善光寺御開帳). I was lucky to be in town for this occasion in 2015, and this photo depicts the atmosphere on the temple premises on the day of my visit.
