Much to Jake's dismay I was totally fascinated by the tombstones behind each temple.

I still wonder what the black marble on the right side says. Same goes for the wooden board with lots of writing on them.

Don't the wooden pieces look like skis?

If I'm lucky enough to take another trip to Japan, I will make it a point to visit Kyoto. I love the harmony and the beauty of the temples and the amazing care with which they prepare the gardens.
