In looking up Choonji Temple, it was apparent that there is a more famous temple of the same name elsewhere in Japan, so keep in mind that the photos above are of the Choonji Temple here in Tokyo.  There are times in Tokyo when you look around and feel despair at the lack of the old culture, but if you look for it, it's still there - not as much as in places like Kyoto, Nara, or Nikko of course, but Tokyo has its culture too.  -  Copyright 2006 by Lyle (Hiroshi) Saxon, Images Through Glass, Tokyo
