Nata-Dera

My host parents took me out on the third weekend. It was a very large temple with beautiful, old architecture. Unfortunately it was pouring rain the whole time, but it was a lot of fun anyway.

This large rock had many caves with shrines inside
We head up a mountain into a shrine
Shinto shrines are marked by torii

This is a long, bending red bridge, or can't you tell?
Another view of the shrines
The long highway from the gate to the shrines
This is a brand new Buddhist temple at the site
