Zenkoji




Zenkoji

Originally uploaded by neepster.

Once again I am in Japan for business and pleasure. Monday morning found us in Nagano, so I took Sriram and Bin to the most famous landmark in Nagano, Zenkoji before we had to go to work. Zenkoji is a famous buddhist temple that has been around for 1400 years and is reputed to contain the first statue of Buddha brought to Japan. However, a copy of the statue is shown to the public only every seven years. So we did not see it. After working hard on Monday, some of us moved to Tokyo and the beautiful Imperial Hotel. After a nice dinner at the wonderful Maharaja Indian restaurant, I decided to walk all the way around the Imperial Palace. It is gigantic. It took me more than an hour and a half to walk all the way around it. After that, I trudged back to the hotel and immediately dropped into bed. Photos are up on flickr.
