Naritasan Temple

Just prior to taking an airplane at Narita airport, I visited Naritasan temple (成田山). 

Main hall

The actual name of the Buddhist temple complex is called Naritasan Shinshoji (成田山新勝寺) that was established in AD 940. It belongs to the Shingon school Chisan branch (真言宗智山派)

  4. I'm with Hans - the sky is wonderful. I've never thought of using infra red like this. The second photo looks as if it was painted on silk.
