Collecting Coins, Yakuoji Temple

Posted by Daryl (Amagasaki, Japan) on 17 January 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

Visitors to Yakuoji temple on New Year's Day drop 1-yen coins on the steps as they climb them; one coin for each year of their age. This brings good luck (as most things you do at a temple are supposed to do). These men work at the temple and are collecting up some of the scattered coins.

I've made it up to 500 images! I've now decided to drop 'Daroru' and go with 'Daryl'. Because that's my name.
