I frequently visit Japan. The most recent visit to Japan was during the winter holidays of 2011-2012, and most of the pictures from this gallery date back from that period or from the 2009-2010 visit. They mostly cover Tokyo area, but not restricted to.
Narita-san Shinsho-ji (Narita Mountain New Victory Temple) is one of the greatest temples in Kanto area around Tokyo in Japan. It belongs to Shingon Buddhist sect and contains a vast complex of buildings and grounds. It is dedicated to Fudo Myoo (or Acala), the fire-god Unmovable Wisdom King. Nio-mon Gate (Protector's Gate) is among the oldest original surviving building in the complex (1830) and declared an Important Cultural Property of Japan.
