長い入口

Elegant temple entrance on Koenji backstreet

高円寺のお寺の長い入口は素敵です。梅も咲いています。

I bike down a back street to visit my favorite Shin Koenji coffee shop. I pass several temples with well maintained gardens. The long entrance looked particularly elegant on a cold, sunny day. Just to the side of the gate, a plum tree is blooming.
