For anyone interested in Buddhist statues carved from stone, the small temple, Taki Fudoson, is a hidden treasure. Located along Route 299 (to/from Chichibu), the main temple building sits on the side of the road, but the 'taki' (waterfall) and 'fudo' (one of the five Wisdom Kings and Protector of Buddhism), are across the street in a shallow ravine. Many other stone statues, including Japan's Seven Lucky Gods, are dispersed around a garden and on a small hill.

I've seen the statue of the one picking his nose on the way to the supermarket. Love it! So human!
