Japan - Hiraizumi

Hiraizumi is a temple area in Iwate-ken in Japan, south of Morioka.
Fujiwara family reigned here and at it's peak it was said to rival with Kyoto.
Lot of nice small temples on a foresty hill.






Hakusan Shrine - perhaps the first structure built in Hiraizumi some 1000 years ago or so

special appearance by happy orange drink.
