View from the top of the temple steps. Notice on the wooden pillar on the right, there's a koi carp fish hanging on it. 1 views
|
|
People who completed the 33-temple pilgrimage can rub this fish (made of bronze) to mark the end of their abstinence (精進落ち). The pillar on the left also has a koi fish hanging (not visible).1 viewsThese days, I'm sure most pilgrims do the pilgrimage by car or train. Too far to walk it.
