After our nice peaceful walk, we were back among the crowds of people all checking out the see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil monkeys…

We also had a good time admiring the beautiful architecture and wood work.

Getting to the top of the Toshogu Shrine was quite a walk, but it really was a sight to see along the way. The shrine is made up of 55 main structures that cover 80,000 sq. meters. Needless to say we were a little winded at the end of the walk but thankfully our friends were prepared and we got our energy back with some Aomori apple juice!

After a quick break we headed back down to the town area in search of some lunch!
