During a tour of the Old City of Jerusalem, we got taken to the Western Wall (aka Wailing Wall) and the surrounding area.

Shingon Buddhist temple
During our stopover in Japan, Vicki and I headed to the Shingon Buddhist temple in Narita city.
According to Wikipedia:
This temple is one of the most well known in the Kant region of Japan and is only surpassed in visitors during the O-shogatsu period (lit: New year period) by the Meiji Shrine in Tokyo. The temple grounds are composed of a main gate, a steep stairwell and the main buildings (including a couple of five-story pagodas), and a garden area with large pond. A very small zoo is also within the temple grounds.
