That's given me yet another idea for a trip. There really should be a warning attached to your trip reports. "Reading this report may result in some serious damage to your wallet".

Probably also does some serious damage to your liver if you follow in my footsteps.
Ohara was really quite nice and in a mostly rural area which was a change from the city temples in Kyoto. I must admit sitting in the Hosen-in Temple with a bowl of tea staring out into the wonderful gardens was a sublime experience. The ambiance was added to by the fact that a Maiko was also visiting at the time and was also taking tea in the temple.
