Today, I'm going to talk about how cute the stone statues in a temple called Josenji Temple in Yamato City are. Josenji Temple is a famous temple in Yamato City, known as the "Temple of Flowers". It is a healing spot where trees and flowers calm the mind every season. Arhat statues and kappa are scattered around the Josenji premises. All of the children have rich expressions, and you can Oyster various imaginations such as "What are you thinking?", "Friendly and relaxed", "Fun with everyone", etc. They may also be enjoying watching the people who come to the temple. The lively stone statues are really unique and adorable. Temple of Flowers Josenji Temple 2176 Fukuda, Yamato-shi, Kanagawa http://www.jousenji.com//
