The front doors were closed, so I could see the Buddha statue through the side door.
It was dark inside. And the mood of the inside of the building was mysterious.

One thing I was sorry was building looked so small to compare with the size of Buddha statue.
But it was inevitable, there was no enough space there.
There must be a reason why they put Buddha statue in such a narrow place.

Standing in front of the building, I looked around. I could see the mountain and the soft sunlight in evening over the wall.

Even though it was small place, it was the best place in this temple.
