Gotokuji



Hello all
I’ve been very lazy recently and so I haven’t written for over a month! I promised myself that I would write 3 times a week at the beginning of the year.. Oh well, I’ll try to be less lazy from here on in.

We just finished the Golden Week holidays. Most people didn’t do anything special as I didn’t either. But I did take a little trip to Gotokuji temple on Tuesday 5/3. It’s a magnificent temple with 3 or 4 actual temple buildings. There’s also a 3 story pagoda.

After arriving and walking through the path under the trees to the entrance I waked around a bit and then went to sit down under some trees and bathe myself in the nature and breathed in the aroma of the calm environment. Then I walked around a bit more and found the place where they have the lucky cats. There were only a few there.. After that I walked around s bit more and took another rest on one of the many benches they have here and there. I’d say Gotokuji ranks as number 2, second to Kuhombutsu, nn the list of shrines and temples I’ve been visiting this year.
