These photos of Tenryuji Temple actually belong in the middle of the Nenogongen photos - the hike up the mountain I took that is recorded there, was with the Tenryuji Temple as the goal at the top.  I've isolated the temple photos since there are plenty for both categories and just too many to put them both together.      When spending weeks on end in Tokyo busy working and then recovering on the weekend from too much time at work and on the trains, it seems like there is no easy escape from Tokyo, but when you actually get up early and ride a few trains, there are a lot of places like this to see....  - Copyright 2006 by Lyle (Hiroshi) Saxon, Images Through Glass, Tokyo
