A Japanese purification pavilion (temizuya) at night within a shrine complex. The structure has a tiled roof supported by wooden pillars and is softly lit by hanging paper lanterns with Japanese calligraphy. Beneath the roof is a stone basin with ladles used for ritual cleansing. To the right, a small building houses vending machines, blending traditional and modern elements. In the background, a large red temple building adds depth and cultural significance to the scene.
Wonderful Japan, where the traditional and slightly mystical coexist effortlessly with the ultra‑modern.
A temizuya, purification pavilion, at a Shinto shrine in Kyoto.
And of course, modern vending machines right beside it.
Soon going back.....
