This attractive temple in Nagatsuta looks very striking from the street because of its tile-capped white wall and very beautiful gate. It has a number of interesting statues including some impressively scary gate guardians. The main hall is also a beautiful building, and you should make sure you don't miss the strange and wonderful carved beasts under the eaves.

Temple gate rising above a long white wall

Buddha and bell rope

Cute sweeper statue

The temple hall, framed by the gate

Two fearsome looking guardians

Another carved beast

The main hall of the temple

A carved beast which slightly resembles an elephant

There must be a story behind this statue

Dragon crouched over the water basin

These tiles seem to have a clover motif!
