Kyoto: Nishi Hongwanji

I'm changing it up for Kyoto.

We were in Kyoto for just 1.5 days...and we took a boat load of pictures.  I'll be posting by place/event instead of by day.  Enjoy!!!

Nishi Hongwanji is a Buddhist, Jodo Shinshu temple.  I was raised a Jodo Shinshu Buddhist and my family in Hawaii are still practitioners of this religion.  I've always wanted to visit Honzan (aka, Nishi Hongwanji headquarters in Kyoto) and was beyond thrilled to find out that it was located next to our hotel.  It was truly a magnificent place.
