Renkoji temple, Numazu

A restful temple swathed in greenery

Flowers and greenery surround you from all sides

The steps up to the gate from the road

This line of statues watch to make sure you behave appropriately

These statues are happier out in the open air

The bell is a big one

Even in spring, some trees have deep red leaves

This modest statue of the Kannon (Buddhist Goddess of Mercy) stands near the entrance gate

Contemplate the zen garden in front of the main hall

The graveyard is a compact place

This statue stands sentinel over the graves

Keep off the gravel: stepping-stones lead you to the bell pavilion

This little chap is happy in his shady spot

A big old lantern like this is a fixture of every temple

The road alongside the temple is lined with colorful flowers

A few minutes' walk east of Numazu station, Renkoji is a pretty and peaceful temple, with plenty of features in a small space. There's greenery and seasonal flowers everywhere, with bees buzzing around wisteria hanging from a frame when I visited, and this complements the variety of Buddhist statues and the meditative zen rock garden in front of the main hall. The restful atmosphere makes it a nice place to take a break from the bustle around the station.
