Buddhist Temples

This past weekend Mr X hopped a few trains/buses and did some exploring. He visited several Buddhist temples and had a nice time checking different areas of Japan. He visited the Hase Temple as well as the Kōtoku-in Temple in Kamakura and the Kenchoji Temple. Here are some of his pictures:

(That green thing in the front is a watermelon tied up in rope, in case you were wondering.)

(This is the Great Buddha. It's over 13 meters high, so almost 44 feet tall.)

(That's more fruit as offering/gifts below the enormous Buddha. The orange things are grapefruit.)

(This was a tiny cave with Buddha carved into (among other things) and people would buy the tiny little Buddha statues and put them in there. Mr X says the cave was very short - even the Japanese people had to hunch over to go inside.)
