Friday Fotos — the Byodo-In Temple lagoon is serene

May 12, 2017 By Terry

Byodo-In Temple lagoon
The Byodo-In Temple is such a serene place. The grounds are immaculate and it’s undergoing a major restoration.

Byodo-In Temple Lagoon View

Our visit to the Byodo-In Temple was well worth the trip. This was one of the places on my “must see” list and even though it was undergoing a major restoration during our visit, I’m happy we got there. This is just one small section of the temple. The front is currently a spiderweb of scaffolding, but eventually the owner intends to restore the temple to its full glory. By the way, this is a privately owned attraction with the modest entrance fees going to support its continued existence.

About Terry

I started out as a skip tracer. Just in case you don’t know, that’s the guy who finds the people who don’t want to be found. It was the little things—getting paid to lie—that made skip tracing the fun part of the job.

Those years of chasing deadbeats taught me many valuable life lessons, such as liars come from all walks of life, and always keep your car in the garage.

    I love going there. Sometimes wispy clouds stick in the hills, giving it a ‘lost in the Himalayas’ feel. I definitely think McKenna needs a story there!

      It would be fun to do a story there.
