The peaceful graveyard

And two more cute little Buddhist figures

The very small temple garden

The entrance from the street

Walking from the center of Shizuoka to Kiyomizu Park in the east, I happened across the entrance to a temple, and decided to go inside for a look. It's only small and didn't take me long to get around, but I found a peaceful graveyard with some serene statues, among them the Kannon, the Buddhist goddess of mercy.

I do sometimes find these cute little baby Buddhas at temples. At another temple in Shizuoka there's a whole load of them on the lawn!
