Muza-chan's Gate to Japan

Sightseeing Tokyo, Genku-ji Temple

Thu, February 24, 2011, by Muza-chan
A big part of the tourist attractions in Japan are its temples and shrines. Same of them are amazingly famous, but there are so many other great looking places, often overlooked by tourists (and probably by locals too).

This is Genku-ji Temple, located in Higashi-Ueno, an architectural gem, one of the most beautiful temples from this area. Inside the temple's courtyard there is a small Japanese garden, impeccably maintained, and I still remember that peace and tranquility...
