Japan post #2

In a previous post, I shared how great the rail transport in Japan is. I've dug out some of the photos of my trip. These are my three favourite photos of some of the places I went.

This place ranks number one. This is Nara, the original capital city of Japan. We went to Nara park (which is full of deer that you can feed), and to this temple: Todaiji.

I took this photo from just inside the entry to the temple grounds. Apparently, this is the largest wooden building in the world and houses the largest Budda statue in Japan. It was pretty big!

The next one is Osaka Castle. This is right in the middle of the city. The inside of the castle is completely modernised - you take an elevator to the top. It's a great view. The grounds are filled with gardens, as you can see in the photo.

I can't remember exactly where I took this photo, but I really like it. I recall having to wait ages to take it because I didn't want any people in it so I had to time it just right.

That's all folks! Next time, I'll post about some of the things I did and people I met. Sayonara.
