first frost somebody puts a knitted cap on a Jizo statue 初霜やお地蔵さまに毛糸帽 In a sunny day, I went to Meigetsuin, a temple at Kita-Kamakura. Its inner garden opens only in spring (a season of iris) and autumn (colored leaves). The temple's symbol is rabbits. At the front entrance a rabbit welcomes us. Inside the temple leaves of maple tree were beautifully colored. After walking the garden of the temple, I went to Ishikawa coffee. The shop' uses an old Japanese house. The silent and peaceful atmosphere and hot relaxing coffee will entertain guests. Photos of Meigetsuin http://www.flickr.com/photos/54284233@N02/sets/72157625365402331/
