Japan - Temple Life, Entrance

The next 25 or so postings are going to be about the temples visited during our hop to Japan.  We went to a bunch of them, so I'm not going to even attempt to identify where they all are or even what they're called, except the latter postings in this series.

This is my wife and son, Andrew, in front of a huge temple complex in the Tokyo area.  Technically - and even compositionally - this is not a great photo, but does show the huge posts that frame the entrance to the temple.  One item of interest to us was that the logs came from trees in Taiwan.  The wood is known for its noticeable and pleasant scent...look closely behind Andrew and you'll see a few tourists with their noses literally pressed against the beam.
