Abuto Kannon Temple

· Japan

Very small and overpriced temple (okay, it was only £1.50, but it's tiny). Not supposed to take photos of it, and the path to the little viewpoint was closed due to 'the risk of falling rocks after heavy rain'.

Founded 985. Being about childbirth, the main shrine is decorated with loads of images and textile breasts!

Looks best from the sea, but you don't get that view when you pay to go in 🫤
