It's raining in Toshogu shrine, Nikko (Japan)

Shōdō Shōnin (勝道上人) established the temple of Rinnō-ji in 766, followed by the temple of Chūzen-ji in 784. The village of Nikkō developed around these temples. The shrine of Nikkō Tōshō-gū was completed in 1617 and became a major draw of visitors to the area during the Edo period. A number of new roads were built during this time to provide easier access to Nikkō from surrounding regions.Wikipedia

  • I like the contrast of the moss on the gate and the shiny wet rocks next to it. The trees in the background are awesome.

    On the bottom level, behind the people, is that one of those walls where you hang those wooden plaques with prayers written on them?
