Sanda: City of Flowers, Water and Trees

A few weeks ago Shoichi and I went to Kazan-in, an ancient temple in the mountains in Sanda. It's the home of the seven lucky Jizo statues and has a spectacular view of the whole town.

The new motto is kind of boring. I liked the older one better. But the pix are gorgeous. Can't wait to come back and see baby Kanou!!!!! - and, of course, baby Kanou's parents as well but you know who will be the main attraction!!!

Love you

I went there with Bec before my shameful return to Canada. It was a cool little place to visit.

Please keep the old motto for your blog - it is SO much better. What were they thinking? Is there a city in Japan that doesn't have flowers, water and trees??
