And to thank God for the job and the business in Japan, we went to a place blessed by Him. This wonderful mountain around Tokyo in called Takao san; 50 min by train from Shinjuku and the easiest mountain to hike as no other transportation is needed from Takaosan Station.
The color of the leaves already changed a lot and there were some special events on the top. The temple below is new, bringing the Thailand's budhist history and many small buda to represent many parts of Japan.
Someone always gets the soft ice cream there (^-^)v
There are many other temples up there, with beautiful and interesting scenarios.
Today there was a cerimony with the Shishimai, a type of dragon that bites the people's head to bless you. Very interesting religion and culture. I respect that... as it bites my head ;-)
Omikuji is a paper with a message. To make the message work in your life, people tie it in ropes like in the picture. I also found the 10 commands, which I didn't expect to see in the budhist environment.
The temples and small ojizosan (statues) are always matching with the nature.
Taking the most difficult route to return, we had great moments seeing the different leave's colors on the mountains.
