Around Himeji

6th October

Today Tina and I decided to visit the local cemetery which we have been meaning to do for a while! It is on a hill not far from our apartment building and it was an amazing place to visit. There were many grave stones but also many beautiful statues, shrines and a beautiful fountain area. There was also a great view of Himeji.

The view!


One of the beautiful shrines.


The fountain and garden.

Another beautiful shrine


This is one of the grave stones


Near each area of grave stones there are buckets and water so you can clean the grave stone and pray


It still amazes me what beautiful places there are so close to home that I have not discovered yet!
