Zenkoji Temple Gateway Japan

Posted on August 12, 2009 by Jim Atwood in Flickr Japan | Comments

The Great Zenkoji Template Gateway in Nagano City, Japan. The size of this gateway is awesome. It is also newly rebuilt and finished just last winter. You can enter the gateway and take stairs to the top for a birds eye view of the Zenkoji Temple grounds. It’s quite a site and a must see if you visit Nagano city. This week during Obon week there are many events and festivals in the area. This video was taken with the Creative Vado HD pocket camcorder. Video by Jim Atwood Photography at http://jimatwood.net.

Holy Smoke

This guy had a really funny expression I thought. He jumped up pretty fast to this incense pot and the smoke just blasted him. He looks like he’s inhaling or something. Funny. These guys are really fun to talk to by the way provided you can speak Japanese. They do try to speak English a little, but it they trail off quickly when you get onto more complex topics.
