This is a small temple with a very old tree, a bell and small garden. What strikes to me the most would be the old tree...
That 1200 year old gingko tree is amazing. I was awe struck and jlwas just looking it for 10 mins. Its in transition to change its color from green to yellow.
Its just a 10 mins walk fron Takayama station.
I came late as the temple has closed today. Yet the surrounding is still beautiful although it is as cold as -1 deg C in this early spring... Most people are still in their winter coat
First time that I had Wagyu style beef. It is really good. With this breed of cattle the meat is more marbled. Thus when you cook it the fat melts near the meat and you get a completely juicy tasting meat. If you are in Japan you have to try this stuff. It's amazing. In this restaurant you cook the meat yourself along with veggies and whatever else you ordered. Great experience. I am sure others are very similar in nature.
