Welcome to Hirazumi Part 1!
When I ventured to Hirazumi it was still fairly cold. I can't remember the exact temperature but a winter coat was definitely needed. After cliimbling up a super steep slope, this is the first thing that you see. I could be wrong (it's first according to iPhoto.)
Hirazumi is a UNESCO landmark. I've basically forgotten all of the name of the temples that I saw. If you want more information go here and you can get as much information as you like. I must admit one of my favorite things about being in Japan is the history. There are so many temples and buildings that are 1000s of years old.
I hope that you enjoy the pictures!
The view of the mountains was stunning!

| There was a shrine made of gold in this building. It's a shrine inside of a building that inside of this building. Confused yet? LOL |

This is the outdoor stage. They have many different performances here in the summer.

That it's it for Hirazumi Pt 1. In the second post, I'll post picture of another famous shrine as well as pictures of a gorge. Until next time!
