A temple with a splendid carving

Original Text

It is a temple behind Nishika Shrine. If you climb the long stairs and go through the mountain gate, you will find Jizo-do and Kannon-do. From there, climb the stairs further to the main shrine. The carvings of cranes, turtles and dragons on the walls and roofs were wonderful. Also, from the side of the main shrine, you could see Uraga Bay and enjoy a wonderful view.
