Japan day 11


Today, the biggest attraction for the day was the visit to the toshogu. We visited several shrines and what is believed to be the final resting place of tokugawa ieyasu, the founding member of the tokugawa shogunate i believe. The buildings are really ornate and quite beautiful even though they are quite old. The photo above is of 3 monkeys. They illustrate see-no-evil, hear-no-evil and speak-no-evil. It's quite a cool place. Now we're on our way back but have unfortunately been caught in a traffic jam on this rather tall mountain... Most unfortunate. :-(
