Cranes galore

The shrine boasts the largest bell, but the statues of the cranes are far more interesting. Worth visiting because it diverts from your usual temple impression.

Beautiful tribute to a prince and his love for the Cranes

What a beautiful shrine in tribute to a prince. We spent a very pleasent morning at the "Crane" shrine as my son called it.
