I climbed to the top of the hill over the bridge at Arashiyama in search of monkeys but found instead a small shrine at the very top, with a large bell and a wonderful view down over the valley. I gonged the bell 3x and was glad the monkeys were not to be found.

Is that Konpakuji, where you brought me last year…. er, two years ago (time flies!)?

No, it’s Tenryu-ji in Arashiyama. Headed to Miyako today. If it’s not raining (80% chance) I’ll be out with camera 1200-1330ish.
