Hase-dera Temple in Kamakura, Japan

I had walked past this temple several times while exploring Kamakura.

I have been to Kamakura several times but I had never walked into this temple before. An internet search of "Awesome things to do in Kamakura" brought up these cool mini Buddha statues so I thought I had to check it out in person.

When we got to the temple, they were cleaning out the larger of the Koi fish ponds. It was fun watching them catch these huge fat fish with pool cleaning nets.

This was the main reason I wanted to visit the Hase-dera Temple. There are these awesome Buddha statue armies everywhere. I need to look up the meaning behind the tons and tons of mini statues but they were pretty cool to see.
