Sunday afternoon at Zojoji temple

We went for a stroll around Zojoji temple this afternoon. It is only one train station away - but you could walk there if you wanted. Was a bit of a random encounter, because we were on our way back from a Hanami festival, and had to change trains at Daimon to get home. It was lunch time, so we decided that we may as well go get some food and explore around Daimon a little bit... we ended up following the crowd to Zojoji.

Anyway, lots of people, lots of Sakura, and lots of Jizo... very colorful and bright, but quite sad when you find out what they represent.

And on a completely different note, well somewhat related as it is also has cherry blossoms, we saw this last weekend. There really is a lot of rivers / canals / water in Tokyo... almost everywhere you go your only a short walk away from a river or canal. Pretty cool, especially at this time of year, because quite a lot look like this.
