What an awesome gate. I can't remember if it's the same place, but I think I went here a few years ago, I went to several different areas and I'm pretty sure this is one of them. Either way, if I did go I'm certain I wasn't able to climb the stairs of the gate. I'd love to see the inside of it though. I guess it was built a little more than 200 years ago according to an article I was looking at. Also there are two statues of Nio on the other side, so I'm almost certain this was the place I visited, although I wasn't able to go to the main temple as it was getting late I believe. I'll have to go back to see it. I always hear how cool Setagaya is anyways and I never get a chance to go out there. Golden Week plans maybe?

What an interesting photo... I don't usually associate the buddha with being cute, but this one deserves an exception I suppose lol. Something about the way he's standing and just saying "hey" is really intriguing. It's a really interesting decoration for a chozuya as well. I can't read cursive to save my life, but I think it says something about the Amitabha Buddha? I can only make out the first character and I think it's a longer sutra maybe. Anyways, I've never been to Taisho Temple, it looks like it has a lot of interesting history to enjoy though. It looks like it'd be a nice play to go on a slightly warm day when the cherry blossoms are out, just like in this photo.
