Komyoji Temple in Ueno

An intimate home to Buddhist statues

Close to Inaricho subway station between Ueno and Asakusa, Komyoji is an intimate Buddhist temple, worth popping into for a few minutes if you're in the area to take in the restful atmosphere.

The hall doesn't hold much interest, but the graveyard and small garden are home to a lot of Buddhist statues, some new, some very, very old. Many of them are variously worn, weathered, damaged or grown with lichens, really giving a sense of just how long they've been in this same spot.
