Shinto Shrine and Pagoda

After we went apple picking we found this super cool Shinto shrine with an awesome pagoda. This was the road to get there... it was the smallest road yetHere is the painted billboard map of the area
Walking up the stairs to the shrine was like walking up to heaven with the sun in our faces and all the leaves on fire!
It was gorgeous... I am in love with fall in Japan
And I am in love with ginko trees.. they turn this awesome gold color in the fall

This statue was amazing... my camera batteries were dying or else I could have gotton some better shots... I love all the moss and lichen all over him
Jokey and OAR with a samurai suit... WOOD

Tons of Tori gates
And finally the pagoda!

We have ginkgo trees at UCA, and they are so so pretty in the fall!
