Toshogu in Nikko was one of the most ornate temples I've seen in Japan. *

In Japanese 'see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil' is translated as 'mizaru, kikazaru, iwazaru'. *

The monkeys are now behind us as we turn for the main temple

This is one of the many gates that lead up to the temple.

The stable with the monkeys and the smaller gate mentioned earlier.

Ok, so the next day we went out to Machida *

Including these hip sneaker inspired heals *
