Meiji Mura’s St. John’s Church (聖ヨハネ教会堂) from Kyoto (1907)

I was a bit surprised to find my random, desktop image of the day to be from Japan. But Meiji Mura is no ordinary place in Japan. At Meiji Mura you can find old buildings from all over Japan that have been moved to this location to continue to exist. Soon St. John’s Church will have spent more time in Meiji Mura than it did in Kyoto as it was moved to its current location in 1965.

Naesosa

Naesosa is a famous temple in a national park near the west coast of South Korea. It’s a great stop on your way to Gosapo Beach.

Fudoin on Koyasan

I hadn’t done much research on Koyasan before spending the night there. I figured temple lodging would be rather rustic. On the contrary, the experience was lovely and luxurious.
