Sightseeing Tokyo, Genku-ji Temple

Thu, February 24, 2011

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…
