JAPAN ~ Narita and The Temple City

Upon arrival in Tokyo we met ... Pavel and he escorted us to the Temple in Narita, called Narita-san Shinsho-ji, a Shingon Buddhist temple...

Wikipedia says :  It is a lead temple in the Chisan branch (Chisan-ha 智山派) of New Shingon (Shingi Shingon 新義真言宗), includes a large complex of buildings and grounds, and is one of the best-known temples in the Kantō region. It is dedicated to Fudō myōō ('Unmovable Wisdom King', known as Ācala in Sanskrit), who is usually depicted holding a sword and rope and surrounded by flames. Often called a fire god, he is associated with fire rituals.



Then we walked the city...


And met these kids that were learning to talk English




Ritual cleansing at the entrance of the temple
