Bitchu Kokubunji, Okayama

Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 20 September 2009 in Landscape & Rural.

Bitchu Kokubunji is another famous location in Okayama, west Japan. The temple, seen in the background, has a 5-storied pagoda, dating from 1844.

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!

Those two guys in the back look like they're about ready to draw swords.

@Twelvebit: My wife and her father? No... they get on just fine.

Are we talking about the same two people? The people are too small for me to determine gender.

@Twelvebit: Well, there are 3 people close together, and the one in the front in the white shirt is my dad! The other 2 are my wife and her dad.
