Thank you so much for this extra information. Eikan-do is one of our favourite stops along the path, especially during the autumn colours.

Japan has been in the top 5 of countries to visit next - I always manage to just be passing through on long layovers. MUST make time for a visit - gorgeous photos!

Thanks Peter. We were told when we were there the first time that there are over 1600 temples in Kyoto alone. We don't have a hope of getting to them all but we add a few extras on each visit and keep coming up with new favourites.

So much history and beautiful shrines everywhere. Didn't make it to this one but looks like it would be worth the visit.
