Kinpusenji Temple

Visiting Yoshino Mountain to see sakura, we came to this temple for ascetic monks practicing Shugendo. (Saito goma ritual) This branch of Buddhism is restricted to women. This ceremony, however, was almost all women! Usually, the ascetics walk over the hot coals remaining after the fire. We left before that happened.

Pretty good! Pros: Nice Location. Good Area. Public Bath was nice. The Bed Was Good! Cons: Pillows were awful. Elevator stops at 2nd floor every time. Cleaning done even with no sign on the door.
