The gardens at Hase-dera

We stumbled across Hase-dera quite by accident. Some Japanese ladies had mentioned it and we kind of walked around Hase and found it. I was so pretty, and full of all sorts of different trees and flowers. From the bottom, it looked like just a little garden, but there were caves, and a temple at the top, and all sorts of shrines for Children rising up the hillside. Strangely, there were a lot of fresh cut flowers all over, at the shrines. Sometimes I wish I understood Japanese because then I could read about why there were fresh cut flowers and lots of little streams all over and cuddly toys left at the Childrens Shrine!
