This is the Golden pavilion they
also call
Rokuonji Temple.
The
entrance to the Golden Temple. Kyle and Josh trowing out some more peace signs!
Kyle infront of The Pond of Kyoko-Chi, with the Golden Temple in the backroud.
Mom and Dad looking great as the model infront of the Golden Temple.
Josh and I just hanging out taking all the scenery in.
Josh and I again, gosh do we make a cute couple of what?! HAHAHA:)
Kyle, Dad, and Mom, infront of the pond and if you look closely over mom's left shoulder you can see a crane in the backround on the island.
Josh and I infront of the Pond of Kyoto-Chi.
The pond had some beautiful islands and on one island there was a crane. In Japan the crane means good fortune and longevity because of its fabled life span of a thousand years.
Just another beautiful view of one of the many islands and the crane on Kyoko-Chi Pond.
I am not really sure what these are to represent but they were stones with it looks like people carved in them. The bowl is suppose to be filled with water and all coins around the rocks are peoples wishes and prayers. We thought it was neat b/c in the states you only see wishing ponds or fountains.
Here was another station to make wishes or prayers. You can see the carving on the people on these stones better than the others. We did make a wish at each station we saw, it was pretty neat.
