Ah, the peaceful serenity of a quiet Buddhist temple, in this case Eikan-do. There are 1,200 Buddhist temples in Kyoto, and 30 Shinto shrines. Shinto, in case you don't know, is the Japanese national religion, and generally coexists with Buddhism since both religions are very laid back. Shinto has some nature worship elements, and theoretically believes that the emperor is a god, although it's safe to say nobody believes anything like that now. But people will make offerings for good luck at both types of temples, and observe certain rituals at one or the other depending on how it looks. Shinto weddings, for example, are pretty cool looking, I've got some photos of one in Tokyo from a later trip I think.
