Hase Kannon Temple- The next stop is the Hase Kannon Temple. As soon as you walk in there are ponds and greenery everywhere. It really is a peaceful place and a step into the past. In this temple there was a fortune box where you pay 100 yen and pick a fortune. Your luck can range from very bad luck to super good luck. The interesting thing is that if you get bad luck there is a way rid yourself of it. You fold and tie the paper to this stand so that the paper keeps the bad luck. At the end of the day the temple then burns the fortunes. As you venture up, you see the 1,ooo Buddhas for the deceased. All around there are little statues for the children who have passed. There are places where you can light a candle and place it on a stand. There was also a cave that I walked through. In the walls, there were carvings and also places to light candles. In one part of the cave, there were tiny little white buddha figurines for visitors to place around a carved buddha (second picture from the top). From the top of the temple grounds, you can see a fabulous view of the beach. On this particular day, even from miles away, you can see the hords of people having fun in the sun.
