In addition to the main shrine complex, there are also Buddhist and Shinto temples attached. The huge barnlike building pictured here is the Buddhist temple, Rinno-ji, at the base of the complex. Inside is another giant Buddha that I can't show you. From there, we joined the tourists up a stone staircase, and to this highly decorated gate, the first of many in the memorial complex. It's called Nio-mon, for those taking notes.
