For our last big adventure in Japan we decided to go and visit a somewhat famous temple complex built up on a mountain side. The weather was great, but unfortunately hundreds of other people decided to go on the same day. It wouldn't have been so bad except every grandma wanted to ask about Kaiya, so it took some time to climb the 1110 steps to the top. The temple itself was started in 860 AD. It's amazing how old some things here in Japan are compared to the western United States where our old buildings are from the 1800's. Kaiya decided to start screaming as soon as we reached the top so we actually didnt get to look around too much, but it was still pretty impressive. There were many interesting buildings, statues, engravings, etc too it was difficult to decide what pics to put on the blog, but here are a few highlights.

I agree, your adventures must have been very exciting. What are your plans once you return to the United States?
