Inside Maruyama park. The entrance was free and had many ponds and gardens. The park is located in Gion area (geisha district) of Kyoto.

A geisha girl in Kyoto all perfectly decorated. I was among a dozen professional photographers. After taking this picture someone asked me if I was a member. I later learned she was a special model posing. I liked the way the picture came out with my unprofessional looking small Canon digital camera, which I bought in Seoul to replace my lost one (a similar kind).

The largest bell in Japan; it was cast in 1633 and is located in Chion-in temple. It takes 17 monks to ring the bell.

A view behind the main hall of Chion-in temple; it leads to another hall by a ‘nightingale’ floor. The floors made chirping sounds when walked upon. This type of floors was used in palaces and temples for security purpose.

This two story San-mon gate in Kyoto is the largest temple gate in Japan. It is an entrance to the Chion-in temple that was built in 1234.
