I’m big in Japan: Kasuga-taisha (2005 May 15)
If you guessed another shrine was the next tour stop, you would be correct! Kasuga-taisha is famous for its lanterns having over a thousand stone lanterns lining the path to the shrine. Bronze lanterns adorn the inside of the temple; basically, if you have the money, you can donate a lantern to the shrine and receive (hopefully) good fortune in return. Not much else to see other than the lanterns, so we didn’t spend much time here.
