Koi Pond at Kaburaiji Temple

 

Kaburaiji is said to be an ancient temple founded by Shotoku Taishi.

It is located near Sanda in Hyogo, at the site of his mother's birthplace.

I will cover the temple in the next post, but for now some shots of the pond in front of the main hall filled with koi.

I was here as Kaburaiji is the next temple on the Kinki Fudo Myoo Pilgrimage I am walking.

I didn't see them, but the temple is known for growing the oldest type of lotus in Japan.

The previous post was on the interior of the nearby excellent Natural History Museum
