Digital Guff
Goju-No-To, Nara

Enough with the deer. This is Goju-No-To, a famous pagoda at Kofukuji temple in Nara.
Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.
I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

Very interesting building. Is the contraption on top part of the original design or a camouflaged cell phone tower?

@vu@granby - Wolfgang: Thanks Wolfgang! No no, it's part of the original design...!

very interesting place. that top part does seem oddly modern. good to know it's original.

@grant: Thanks Grant, I don't know if it's 'original' but it's certainly of typical traditional design.
@Ken: Cheers Ken!
