Ikegami Honmonji Temple is located on the hill of Ota-ku, Tokyo. You might see some runners on the stairs. Hmm... I couldn't delete the ghost on the photo.
The stairs take you to the Nio-mon Gate, where you find two statues of guardians.
The guardian on the right opens his mouth, and is saying "a".
The guardian on the left closes his mouth, and is saying "un".
Daido, a building one on the left where Nichiren (a sacred monk) is worshipped, is located just at the back of Nio-mon Gate. Next time, I will photograph more photos from this beautiful temple.
