Takaoka walk

I took a nice walk in Takaoka on the 28th of Dec.  The weather was great after a snow the night before.

This is Zuiryuji Temple, a national treasure.

Nio, one of the protectors at the gate of Zyiryuji.

A statue of Maeda Toshinaga, the lord of Takaoka that was enshrined at Zuiryuji.

JR Takaoka Station.  The temple was about 10 min. walk away.

A train is painted with a famous cartoon Ninja Hattori kun.
